Having witnessed the greatest overreach in government/ bureaucratic/ technocratic control during the Covid years, and speaking as a philosophical conservative in line with Roger Scruton's definition, any attempt to increase power of the public sector over private individuals without VERY strict parameters can only end in tyranny. Those parameters should obviously protect children. Ironic that the same bodies are pushing transgender ideology and gender reassignment practices in children whilst criminalizing dissent. Dutton is doing himself no favours, though is clearly trying to play both sides at once. He is, after all, a politician.
I tend to agree. I don't see a need to abolish eSafety but I would favour downsizing its budget and remit to focus mainly on protecting children and dealing with image-based abuse. The age-assurance/Digital ID thing is tricky. Colleagues in the 'porn-free childhood' activism space strongly support it and I can see why. On the flip side, the possibilities for abuse of the system are obvious.
Ordinary Australia have enough controls without more nonsense being imposed on us for any flimsy reasons If needed let it be done to include proper aspects for all people & not have that present female who rends to lord it over supposedly ignored nobodies

a Complaints based system?
How easy is it to spam fake complaints from one time accounts to target an individual or corporation for esafety regulation?
They need a more judicial process, where complaints must be proven based on evidence presented and a verdict reached, in an open and recorded forum.
You should make a submission ☺️
Agreed - good comment, Antipodes!
