Thanks for the question, Senator Lambie. As I indicated in my response to Senator Rennick, we are not asserting that this bill represents all of the work that is needed to engage. One of the things that Minister Rowland has been very clear about is that she intends to legislate a duty of care. That goes to some of those questions around safety by design and the way the algorithms work, not just to affect, frankly, users under 16, but to affect all users of platforms of this kind. That's work she has indicated she intends to undertake. This is also important.

Can I just indicate to Senator Canavan, who made a set of points about his desire, I imagine, and expectation that other senators wish to contribute—that's perfectly fine, and I'm happy to try and keep my remarks as brief as possible. I was just now seeking to answer the question put to me by Senator Rennick. If senators direct questions to me, I do intend to answer them. I understand that sometimes in the committee stage senators wish to make a more general contribution, and that's fine as well.
