Buggy Parliament web filter blocked The Punch
The Federal Government’s internet filtering scheme isn’t in place yet, but politicians are already complaining about an overly zealous web filter much closer to home — the one installed in Canberra’s Parliament House.
Liberal Senator Scott Ryan told a Senate Estimates Committee yesterday (PDF transcript) that the parliamentary web filter had blocked some “odd things” over the past few months, including News Ltd’s commentary website The Punch in February.
“You may know that for those of us who live in Melbourne, it is relatively common that our trains do not seem to work in late January, once it gets over 32 degrees,” he added. “At that time the filter was blocking the train timetable website.” Ryan added the rogue filter had also blocked a travel website, an article about Apple’s new iPad tablet device, and another “commonly used website across Melbourne”.
