Hockey slams “unworkable” internet filter
Shadow treasurer Joe Hockey yesterday launched an attack on the Federal Government’s internet filtering scheme, in one of the first cases of a senior Opposition figure coming out publicly against the controversial policy.
“What we have in the government’s Internet filtering proposals is a scheme that is likely to be unworkable in practice. But more perniciously it is a scheme that will create the infrastructure for government censorship on a broader scale,” said Hockey in a wide-ranging speech on freedom to the Grattan Institute last night.
Hockey said that “of course” people wanted to stop unlawful material being viewed on the internet, and that there were appropriate protections that are in place for that. “But I have personal responsibility as a parent,” he added. “If I want to stop my children from viewing other material that I feel is inappropriate then that is my responsibility to do something about it – not that of the government.”
