QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator DAVID POCOCK (Australian Capital Territory—Independent ACT Whip) (14:32): My question is to the Minister for Industry and Innovation and Minister for Science, Senator Ayres. Minister, I'm keen to understand how the voluntary national expectations that you released last week around data centres will be enforced and big multinational tech companies held to account for complying with them, given that when it came to the under-16 ban on social media the parliament had to pass legislation.

It seems to me that when it comes to data centres we have some expectations on our website. How will this be enforced?
