My question is for the Minister representing the Minister for Communications, Senator McCarthy. The report on the Online Safety Act review was released on 4 February 2025. The government is yet to release a government response. A key theme of the review's report was the inability of current legislation to apply extraterritorial enforcement, meaning that online safety laws struggle to make sure overseas based platforms are following our laws. The review's report recommended multiple fixes for the issue, including requiring platforms to have a local presence in Australia and requiring a licence to operate. What work is being done to fix extraterritorial enforcement and ensure overseas platforms will actually follow our laws?
