The government has before the parliament important legislation to introduce a civil penalties regime for the non-consensual sharing of intimate images. This will be in parallel to the existing criminal provisions at Commonwealth level and at state level. As a government—and I'm sure I speak on behalf of all colleagues here—wherever there is more that we can do, we want to do that. We should acknowledge the importance of education and the role of non-government organisations, schools, parents and families, but I should also draw the attention of colleagues to the fact that there is a statutory review of the Enhancing Online Safety Act 2015 and the operation of the eSafety Office which will be conducted by July 2018. It is envisaged that this review will seek the views of relevant stakeholders to see what more we can and should do.
