I take it there is a certain rhetorical flourish there! Australia's National Classification Scheme is designed to reflect Australian community standards and expectations. We look at what our overseas counterparts are doing in classification, and our priority is to identify better ways to provide Australian consumers with quality information so that they can make informed choices. Our focus and our priority is about equipping consumers with better information; it is not about censorship. But the senator is quite right to point out that the age of the internet creates particular policy challenges. My department is currently working with states and territories on ways to modernise our classification scheme in light of technological and industry changes, and I would be very happy to welcome Senator Leyonhjelm to the Classification Board office in Sydney to receive a personal briefing on these matters.
