Liberal-National Coalition says that harmful content would be largely immune to filtering, that parents are the best Net filter, and with it leading the polls a little over 2 weeks before the Aug 21st election, its victory could finally mean the end of the controversial proposal.
If you recall, PM Gillard recently reaffirmed the govt’s commitment to Net filtering in order to protect kids from what she calls the “dark side” of the Internet.
“We applaud Mr Hockey’s announcement that the Liberal Party will vote against Labor’s filter,” said EFA Chair Colin Jacobs. “The Opposition are very welcome among the ranks of those many organisations and individuals that see the filter as a policy failure.”
