I can certainly reiterate what we've said publicly, and that is that there will be no undermining of copyright protections. I won't do—I wasn't listening to triple j yesterday, Senator, but I was given a transcript. I had a glance over your reckless speculation about these issues. It is absolutely our intention to do what we can to make sure that people who produce content in Australia, who are currently getting ripped off all around the world—we are looking at that question. We are looking at the questions that go to our national interests, not just about economic opportunity and growth—they are important questions—but of having Australian sovereign capability in tech that makes a difference for future generations and for our national security.
