I indicate that Labor will be supporting the amendments moved by the government. The amendments state that experience or knowledge in the field of child welfare or wellbeing will be a desirable quality that the minister may consider when appointing a person as the e-Safety Commissioner. These are common-sense amendments which take into account the Senate Environment and Communications Legislation Committee's recommendations. The shadow assistant minister for communications, the member for Greenway, flagged in speech in the second reading debate in the House that Labor would support the bill subject to any recommendations made by the committee. The committee process has proved useful and Labor will be supporting the government's amendments.

Question agreed to.
