To my knowledge, existing legislation that has been used in the past will remain in place.

What the new Act aims to do is be much broader in what it covers, make it far easier for people to lodge a complaint and to try and quickly get things like scamming, child sex abuse etc off the internet.

There will be no cost to the complainant who makes a request or complaint and things that aren't illegal, that nevertheless cause distress/inconvenience, will be able to be dealt with.
