My question is to Senator Coonan, Minister for Communications, Information Technology and the Arts. Is the minister aware of a recently released book, Sex Lives of Australian Teenagers, that states that 65 per cent of boys and 50 per cent of girls have seen internet pornography by the age of 12? Is the minister aware that it is now nearly eight months since the government announced that it would give away filters to families to protect children from internet pornography? Can the minister now confirm that not one Australian family has received access to an internet filter under her proposal?
