    The Shadow Minister for Communications and Broadband clarified that the Coalition does not support mandatory internet filtering and has opposed it. An earlier policy statement incorrectly indicated support for an "opt out" internet filtering system, which is not and has never been the Coalition's policy. The actual policy is to encourage service providers to make optional parental control software available that parents can choose to install on their own devices to protect children from inappropriate content online.

    Media Release

    The Hon Malcolm Turnbull MP Shadow Minister for Communications and Broadband
    Thursday 5 September

    The Coalitions Policy to Enhance Online Safety for Children


    The Coalition has never supported mandatory internet filtering. Indeed, we have a long record of opposing it. The policy which was issued today was poorly worded and incorrectly indicated that the Coalition supported an opt out system of internet filtering for both mobile and fixed line services. That is not our policy and never has been. The correct position is that the Coalition will encourage mobile phone and internet service providers to make available software which parents can choose to install on their own devices to protect their children from inappropriate material. The policy posted online today is being replaced with the correct version.
