I make one final point. Law does not sit in a vacuum. The Australian Prime Minister, Albanese, is resolute. He has a determined position on child safety. He has brooked no compromises with the tech industry. Australia also has an experienced and fierce eSafety Commissioner, who is responsible to individual complainants. Her powers are robust and she can issue injunctions. Neither a ban nor the OSA will work unless we equip the regime with a route for individual complaints and vastly speeded-up business disruption measures, and put in robust leadership. Ministers are suggesting that the consultation is about practical decisions and getting more information. As the noble Lord said—Green Paper, White Paper, pre-leg, leg, consultation on what is illegal, consultation on the children’s code—we have been consulted. I have listed what we could do today. The Government are not doing it.
