I dont recall her saying that.
Do you not see yet, Richard, that the Online Safety Act simply isn’t working, just as we all said it wouldn’t.

The 'not supporting’ is sometimes misunderstood as meaning that they don’t allow or ban them. And considering that some VPN protocols run over https; I’m really not sure how they could even if they wanted to!
I certainly read something about this a while ago, so I expect that perhaps it was something like that.
