Abbott won’t recreate Labor’s “ham-fisted” Internet filter
news The Opposition has formed a new working group to deal with the issue of online safety for Australian children, stating that its rival policy will avoid the “ham-fisted” “cyber-censorship” mandatory Internet filtering approach that remains Labor Federal Government policy for dealing with the issue of how children are protected from Internet nasties.
Labor’s highly controversial Internet filter policy was introduced before the 2007 election and would have seen Australian ISPs forced to block a blacklist of sites containing illegal content as defined by the Australian Communications and Media Authority. However, it has not been implemented yet, due to a high degree of public opposition to the proposal that has seen both the Coalition and Greens oppose it, meaning Labor is unlikely to have enough parliamentary support to push through necessary legislation for the policy.
