Question Conroy on the net

Some points to consider:

Below are a few key messages you might like to consider for your question. The Goverment's proposed internet filter will:

  • Allow the Government to block websites without scrutiny;
  • Make internet access slower and more expensive for Australians;
  • Shift responsibility for children's online safety from parents to Government; and
  • Miss much of the content it's designed to block.
