I move the opposition amendment on sheet 2750:

(1) Schedule 1, item 6, page 8 (after line 25), after section 474.17B, insert:

474.17C Review of amendments made by the Criminal Code Amendment (Deepfake Sexual Material) Act 2024

(1) After the end of the 2-year period beginning at the commencement of this section, the Minister must cause to be conducted a review of the operation of sections 474.17A, 474.17AA, 474.17AB and 474.17B.

Report

(2) A report of the review must be given to the Minister within 3 months after the end of the 2-year period mentioned in subsection (1).

(3) The Minister must cause copies of a report under subsection (2) to be tabled in each House of the Parliament within 15 sitting days of that House after the Minister receives the report.

This is a straightforward review provision that requires us to come back to the issue in two years.
