I move amendment No. 41

In page 22, between lines 25 and 26, to insert the following: “(10) (a) The Minister shall designate one member of the Commission as having primary responsibility for the exercise of the functions of the Commission specified in Part 8A.
(b) This member, having primary responsibility for the exercise of the functions of the Commission relating to online safety, shall also be known as the Online Safety Commissioner.

(c) Nothing in this subsection shall be interpreted to prevent other Commission members from taking an interest in or responsibility for the exercise of functions related to online safety.”.

On the basis of the commitments the Minister has given, we will withdraw the amendment.
