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.

"Our intention is to stop the implementation of Internet Censorship in Australia. In case you don't know what that means, or who it affects, it is the proposed plan of creating a compulsory internet filter which is intended on removing and banning the access to any website which is deemed "inappropriate". While the idea itself is intended to bring a safer environment for children on the internet, the filter brings about no concern for anybody else who uses the internet, and is a serious violation of our freedom of rights, speech and expression."
