The federal government plans to enforce a mandatory censorship scheme of the Internet for all Australians at the Internet Service Provider level, nation wide. Whilst condemned by public, most state governments, and almost all ISPs this plan will also waste millions of tax payers funds in a bid to enforce a level of censorship that will set human rights in Australia back several decades, and possibily impact on internet speeds to the same degree.

This scheme was implemented without public consultation and has been closely guarded, even the advisory board for this scheme is closed-door and by invitation only; compounding the issue the only groups allowed on the board include no civil liberties organisations, the advisory board comprises of law enforcement, pro-censorship groups, and a few ISPs only. All minutes of meetings and information as to goings on within this advisory panel have thus far been kept out of the eye of the public.

   * Filtering will be mandatory for all Australians.
   * The filter will censor material that is "harmful and inappropriate" for children.
   * The Government wants to use dynamic filters of questionable accuracy that slow the internet down by an average of 30% or an estimated maximum of up to 80%.
   * The censorsing will impact legal as well as illegal material.
   * $44m has been budgeted for the implementation of this censorship scheme.

The Digital Liberty Coalition is at the forefront of civil liberties and free speech campaigning and the only direct-action organisation tackling this issue. Everyone wishes to see children protected from harm, but censorship is never the answer. We need your support to keep the internet free!
