The father of the Australian Firewall, Mr. Conroy corroborates with ISP's in Australia to filter the internet. However, with such censorship brings about issues of democracy and human rights. The violation of the basic human rights to access information on internet. Such censorship is said to bring in several controversies, illogical content bans and censorship of websites that are unrelated to content banned by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA).

Australian PM Julia Gillard works towards censoring the internet in Australia through Conroy's filters, in an effort to protect citizens from the dark side of communications technology.

The Australian Internet Industry has a list of 16 approved filters. However, testing by Computer Choice found that innocuous content, such as medical sites, were often blocked while some adult content passed through the filter. The filtering software products are ineffective, and Australia cannot control websites hosted outside its borders.

Federal Government of Australia will be censoring over 500 websites that pertain to specific themes deemed unsuitable for Internet users. Certain communication network providers will assist in this censorship.
