Consultations are currently underway on the government's proposal for a new online safety act, which will increase expectations on digital platforms to keep their users safe online. It would not be prudent to pre-empt the outcome of these consultations. The government is committed to protecting children from online child sexual abuse. That's why we have invested $70 million to establish the AFP-led Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation. The centre brings together capabilities from across the public and private sectors as well as civil society to drive a collaborative national response to countering online child exploitation.

Question agreed to.
