I'm sure the minister is aware of submissions made to the inquiry into this matter by the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions. The concerns that the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions expressed were that there are limitations on existing Commonwealth laws to adequately deal with revenge porn. The submission stated those exact words:

There are limitations on existing Commonwealth laws to adequately deal with 'revenge porn' conduct.

Is the minister aware of those concerns from the DPP?
