Ultimately, the challenge before this parliament right now is to assess whether the bill strikes an appropriate balance between safeguarding against misinformation and protecting freedom of speech. I do believe this bill has struck that balance. It's not perfect, but it's a start. The risk that seriously harmful mis- and disinformation poses to this country is too great to do nothing.
