I'll leave commentary on the Northern Territory commission to the Northern Territory parliament, as they're the ones responsible for its administration. But what I can say is that this bill provides ACMA with a full suite of enforcement tools for each offence under the legislation. This gives ACMA flexibility in its regulatory posture and in light of the breadth of organisations captured by these measures. We believe they will have the power to take action that will be meaningful and will ensure that the corporations are held to account, including fines of up to $1.82 million for corporations per contravention.
