Internet filtering - reasons to oppose it (op-ed)

Federal Labor’s proposed internet filtering policy is an attack on freedom of speech and needs to be stopped.

In the last federal election, the ALP ran with a policy of introducing a mandatory internet filtering policy. This policy has received relatively little media coverage and was not prominent in its election material.

The government is determined to go ahead with this scheme despite widespread public opposition. A recent Netspace survey found 80% of its customers disagreed with any internet filtering scheme.
