Real Action to Protect Families Online

The Coalition is committed to real action to provide families with resources they can use to help protect their children from online threats.

We will ensure that parents are not given a false sense of security when it comes to the safety and wellbeing of their children.

The previous Coalition Government provided parents with free PC-based content filters so that parents could help protect their children from exposure to dangerous and inappropriate material on the internet.

Labor cancelled this free PC-based filter and has not provided families with any other alternative.

Conroy's Latest Filter Backdown

Today’s humiliating backdown by Stephen Conroy in relation to his mandatory ISP filtering plan vindicates the Coalition’s concerns about the complex and problematic nature of Labor’s proposal.

It took more than two years for the Minister to even produce a plan and release results of a ‘filtering trial’. Since then the Minister has refused to conduct an independent audit of the trial results and has failed to produce any legislation to implement his proposal, despite pledging to do so months ago.

We welcome moves put forward by industry to voluntarily take steps to block child abuse websites.

In relation to online safety, all Senator Conroy has achieved in nearly three years is his cancellation of the Howard Government’s program to protect Australian families online.
