I wish to echo what Senator Craughwell has said. The reality is that I am only talking about sites that do nothing else but provide very harmful content. There is no grading in this, as Senator Craughwell said.

I will try to simplify it. I appeal to the Minister to imagine what it would be like if he had a child, grandchild, niece or nephew left in a room alone with a stranger who would go into detail on how to take their own life. That is what we are allowing to stay up in front of our children.

This Bill is so simple that it could be passed through quickly. Whatever the Minister is going to provide will be so vast that there is probably going to be problems along the way. I am simply asking for a simple Bill that will help children right now, rather than when all the other things have to be passed through.
