Senator DAVID POCOCK (Australian Capital Territory—Independent ACT Whip) (18:37): Thank you for clarifying that, Minister. So getting the balance right is allowing 160,000 Australian children, on any given weeknight, to see an unlimited number of ads when they're watching TV after 8.30 pm. I was wondering if I could get you on the record confirming that these reforms are not about stopping normalisation among Australian children; they're about reducing exposure?
