QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:09): It's true: last week there were many parents, experts and community groups across this country breathing a sigh of relief because they have been calling for this. They have been calling for this: basic safety standards for the digital services we use every day.

Varsha Yajman, an advocate with lived experience, said: Knowing that I and others dealing with body image issues or disordered eating can simply say no to this content is empowering … The support for this empowerment is broad. Groups including Equality Australia, the Working Women's Centre, the Chinese Australian Forum, the Hindu Council of Australia and the Executive Council of Australian Jewry have welcomed a digital duty of care.

Senator Henderson: Equality Australia doesn't even recognise women. Senator WONG: In fact, Senator Henderson, they want the parliament and the government to go further. While those opposite parrot freedom of speech lines because it's what Senator Hanson and One Nation are doing, we on this side want to hold big tech to account.

You used to want that, then you changed position after 13 days. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Dowling, second supplementary?
