I draw Senator Steele-John's attention to the fact that the eSafety Commissioner would firstly seek non-formal resolution of a complaint, that they have the option of formal written warnings, infringement notices, enforceable undertakings and injunctions, and that civil penalties are the last resort. It is a graduated regime. There's no suggestion that civil penalties are a first resort. As I said before, I have confidence in the Office of the eSafety Commissioner and the Federal Court.
