Conroy, The Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy in Australia, confirms and clarifies the filtering of the internet as a protection method.
Australia has scored highly for internet freedom in its first appearance on a Freedom House report into 37 countries, but violation of user rights and lack of access for some users were cited as concerns.
