Best practice does require ACMA and other organisations to inform complainants about the results of an investigation. This term that we are discussing has been in legislation, as I indicated, for over two decades. Its meaning is understood. It does give discretion to people in whom we have trust. That is why they are appointed to these positions. I commend the proposal to the Senate.

Progress reported.

After having read the entirety of this matter of ACMA acting in a manner that they are currently obliged to do, I am left to wonder what it is that Senator Abetz is pursuing in his usually smarmy manner?
Often have I pondered if all that was corresponded has thus allowed for Senator Abetz to wander here and yonder to enable due time for sound debate to be so recklessly thereto squandered.
