We are certainly not sitting idle. We have legislated increased penalties, as I referred to in my previous response, and we will legislate a digital duty of care. This is on top of the Albanese government's legislation to put a minimum age on social media, the AG's legislation criminalising the sharing of deepfakes and our world-leading dating service industry code. We haven't sat still here. We have been working on this from the get-go. We're working through the remainder of the recommendations, as I've said, to ensure we deliver reforms that do protect Australians. The report does not make any recommendations to allow eSafety to remove content from overseas. We make laws for Australia and Australians, and we're not contemplating changes to the law to allow eSafety to remove content in other countries.
