I’m no fan of the (very conservative) Liberal Party, but I have to agree with them on this point:

Labor, they claimed, had comprehensively failed to deliver on cybersafety policies for children – and this failure was directly linked to Labor’s inability to let go of its obsession with its proposal to apply mandatory internet filtering to all Australian citizens accessing the internet.
 
The solution was flawed anyway, as even the Government had acknowledged that such a filter would be powerless to stop people circumventing it via proxy networks and Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).

(Mind you, I don’t actually think it’s the government’s job to “deliver on cybersafety” for children or anyone else, but it is true that this Labor Government claimed they were going to do this and that to “protect children” and they’ve done diddly squat.)

And, yes, I keep mentioning this, but I think it bears repeating. If you’re in Victoria, vote below the line in the Senate and Put Conroy Last. There are “how to vote” forms on the Filter Conroy site now, so print one out, study it, and be prepared.
