My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the government’s belated response to Labor’s plan to protect Australian children from internet pornography. Why does the government continue to refuse to adopt Labor’s clean-feed policy that would block internet porn at the ISP level? Why does the Prime Minister continue to ignore the views of the Australian Families Association and 62 members of his own backbench by refusing to block pornography at the source? Why won’t the government swallow its pride and put the interests of Australian children ahead of its political interests and adopt Labor’s clean-feed policy?
