From memory Howard announced in 2001 (and again in 2007) that his Government would introduce a free internet filter available (and voluntary) for all Australian families. Having done a quick search for the filter, I can't find it anywhere on the web. Was it ever actually released? Or has the current Government taken it down in pre-emption of a more comprehensive filter being put in place?
Seems like Conroy has kept the more extreme elements of the previous Howard policy but ditched the more sensible voluntary part.
