My question is to the Minister for Communications, Senator Fifield. I refer to reports that Facebook has suspended the data-mining company Cambridge Analytica over its improper use of data from Facebook users. Can the minister advise the Senate what action the government has taken, if any, to protect Australians using Facebook and to guard against the improper use of their data for political campaign purposes?
