Red faces all round in the New South Wales Education Department, as news surfaced last week that a filter supposed to block porn was actually letting it through, and blocking perfectly good educational material instead.
This unfortunate state of affairs came to light when a female school student from Greenfell, NSW, went looking for information on the "swallow" – the avian variety – and the malfunctioning filter blocked access to a documentary on swallowing toothpaste whilst allowing her to view a male site talking about "inappropriate material".
