Minister, I need you to explain to us how, if I am a subscriber to a VPN service, I could use that service for a variety of uses—legitimate and illegitimate. Are you proposing to block my subscription to that VPN service provider? Or how, exactly, are you proposing to make it work? These are services that people subscribe to that offer services to people all over the world, including here in Australia, and the government will not be able to control what individual users choose to do with those services. The VPNs themselves do not host infringing content—I do not think you are implying that they do—so exactly what will be injuncted?
