Australians to get free porn filters

ZDNet Australia reports , Australian goverments proactive stance over Internet filtering. They plan to spend about $86 million (£47m) to provide all the country's families with free Internet pornography-blocking software.
"It puts a safer Internet experience within the grasp of every Australian family, and it is a solution to the problem posed by Internet pornography that is simple, safe, effective and free," Coonan said in a statement.

Helen Coonan, the minister for Communications, Information Technology and the Arts, announced "Every parent will be able to receive a free filter for their home computer, (and) there will be child-safe terminals in libraries across Australia.Futher all ISPs will also be required to offer filters to new and existing customers at no additional cost."

I feel Autralian goverments initiative will be worth immulating for other countries who are grapping Internet pornography issues with mindless regulations like in Philipines or in India & many other countries.
