QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Ms CHANEY (Curtin) (14:44): My question is for the Minister for Communications. I commend the government for committing to a digital duty of care. Fifteen years ago, we had no idea about the harms that social media would do, from radicalisation to exacerbating eating disorders.

With AI, there are early signs of new types of harm, like attachment hacking and cognitive decline. Will you commit to a digital duty of care that includes an overarching duty so it's futureproof for emerging harms rather than limiting accountability to the harms we can identify now?
