Ideas on how to start this essay question?

Discuss whether current Australian law is effective in protecting people by i) criminalising certain kinds of behaviour and communication on social media and ii) providing “stronger” criminal punishment and civil damages aimed at deterring potential offenders.
I have sections I know what I want to write about, just not sure how to start them off :/
- Problems with current laws
- How other countries deal with the problem
- Social media laws in the future
- Effectiveness as a deterrent

Generally we should write the introduction last. Write the body of your essay, and then, you'll probably have ideas for your introduction. Think of it this way -- you can't introduce someone until you know him/her.
"Discuss whether current Australian law is effective in protecting people..."
Have you decided yet whether current law is or isn't effective?

Your answer to that question should be the basis of your thesis statement. Then the rest of your paper will have paragraphs that support that thesis.

And as Ms. Sue said, write the intro last. The intro paragraph should have your thesis statement at the end of it, so the rest of the paragraphs make sense -- support that thesis.
