My question is to the Minister for Communications, Information Technology and the Arts, Senator Coonan. I am sure the minister is aware of media reports alleging that the government is failing to prohibit the carriage and transmission of child pornography and child abuse material on the internet and via mail. What is the minister’s response to those reports? I ask her to inform the Senate what the government is doing to prohibit such activities. Is the minister aware of any alternative policies?
