I am trying to get some clarification here in some of the sections. On page 22, clause 26 talks about filters on computers. Again, the minister will determine what kind of filter is to be installed on computers and it is an offence not to have a filter. Why would this determination be authorised in the minister rather than delegated powers? My second question is: I have a computer issued to me through the federal Public Service, so when can I expect someone to come and install that filter on my computer before I go out bush again?
