Thank you. Was this the filter that applied in the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, where recently 11 staff were sacked and 14 others resigned for abusing the department’s internet system, including accessing pornography, when a departmental spokesman confirmed that 71 staff had been investigated after a tip-off about the misconduct et cetera? I want to know if this particular standard of filter that is being applied in these communities was the standard that was being applied before this incident occurred or post this incident occurring?
