My question is to the Minister for Science and Minister for Industry and Innovation. Big tech and their mates have been running around this place telling the government that weakening our copyright laws is the price we have to pay for a strong AI industry. What a load of rubbish. Basically they want to use all of our creative content for free. Channel 9's CEO told the Financial Review last year that AI were crawling Nine's website almost 10 times a second. That's not innovation. That's called plain-out theft. Minister, your government has said that you won't change our copyright laws and that you will protect Australia's creative industries. Can you reassure Australians that we will stand firm and protect Australian copyright holders?
