The Morrison-Joyce government has been leading the way in protecting Australians online. When eSafety was established in 2015, it was the first agency in the world to be dedicated to protecting citizens from online dangers such as cyberbullying targeted at children. Through the work of Minister Fletcher, with the Online Safety Act, and the eSafety Commissioner, we are bringing the rules of the real world to the online world. This, of course, includes the introduction of a complaints based removal notice scheme for cyberabuse for adults, based on the model that is in place for children.

Our government has also recently released our online privacy code, working to protect our personal data—in particular, our children's data—and to ensure that it is used appropriately. The government also acted quickly to protect Australians from the live streaming of terrorist content, through the abhorrent violent material legislation.
