There are concerns about whether the regulations are enough to impact these large companies.

“The financial consequences of this for the tech platforms are significant,” Mr Coleman told Sky News Australia.

“We’re not playing for the tech platforms, we’re playing for Australian families, and we need to stay very focused on that.”
