AU – Net filtering a $33m waste: child groups(Australian IT)
Child rights groups have come out in force to criticise the Rudd Labor government’s controversial plan to censor the internet, saying the scheme will divert around $33 million away from more effective ways of tackling online child pornography. In a joint statement with lobby group GetUp, both Save the Children Australia and the National Children’s & Youth Law Centre believe the resources could be better spent on law enforcement agencies battling to eradicate child pornography on the internet.
