Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (14:10): There are three stages in the preparation of this. The first two stages are done, and this is stage 3: issuing the contract to make sure that's right— Mr Dreyfus interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order, the Attorney-General! Members on my right, it works two ways. There's far too much interjecting. Yelling is not going to help me hear the answer. Everyone take a lesson: if it continues on, there will be a general warning and people aren't going to remain here for question time today. The Prime Minister has the call. Mr ALBANESE: The government funded this trial in our May budget. The minister and the department have been working through the first two stages and the third stage to make sure—you need to know what you're putting a tender out for—the technology is got right. We've also been cooperating of course with the eSafety Commissioner, a body for which we quadrupled funding. Social media has a social responsibility to have its social licence. We want to make sure, arising out of this age verification, that we're able to move forward in a way which no country in the world has been able to solve this problem. We are seeking to be the best in the world. That is why you have to actually get it right, not fund a car park where there's no train station—make sure you actually get it right. I'm surprised that those opposite seek to make this a partisan issue because I think this is an issue which is of concern for all parents. Social media is causing social— Ms Ley interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Deputy Leader of the Opposition, listen carefully. There will be no more interjections from you for the remainder of this answer, because I want to hear the answer. Mr ALBANESE: Social media is causing social harm. It can be used as a weapon for bullies, a vehicle for scammers or, worst of all, a tool for online predators. That is why we are ensuring that we will get the legislation right. I've said, as part of the announcement, that we will consult across the parliament. I don't think this should be an issue in which we are yelling at each other. I think this is an issue in which we should be yelling at social media companies to do the right thing. That is what I seek, and I hope that the parliament has the maturity to do that. Mr Dutton: From May to September! Dr Chalmers interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! This is a serious issue and we need to do better, so I am asking everyone in the House to show some restraint, ask questions respectfully and listen to the question respectfully as well. Mr ALBANESE: The government may not be able to stop every threat on social media but we do have a responsibility to do everything we can, to help as many young Australians as we can. We cannot let the perfect be the enemy of the good. This is a change that will change our country for the better. It follows our quadrupling of funding for the eSafety Commisioner and the other work we have done in this area. That is why we need a national response. (Time expired)
