	Internet censorship in Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Internet censorship in Australia is largely the province of the Federal Government and its laws on internet censorship are, theoretically, amongst the most restrictive in the Western world.
		According to Electronic Frontiers Australia in at least one documented case, the hosting was merely shifted to a server in the United States, and the DNS records updated so that consumers may never have noticed the change.
		Opponents of this petition claim that given the outcomes of Internet censorship it is possible that further restrictions on Internet usage will not have outcome desired by this conservative organisation, but will, rather, further restrict freedom of other usages of the Internet.

		Subsequently Internet censorship legislation was passed by the SA Parliament on 24 October 2002 and came into effect on 1 December 2002.
		The SA Internet censorship legislation is based on the 1999 draft model legislation, but is not identical, nor is it identical to the NSW Act that was also based on the draft model.
		The WA Censorship Act came into effect on 1 November 1996, and covers both offline material and Internet content, flying in the face of the Commonwealth Government's then attempts to confine any new Internet legislation to the Commonwealth sphere.

	Hoodwinking the Public: Australia's Internet Censorship Regime (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		There is no evidence or indication in Government reports to support the Minister's claim on 21 August 2002 that the Internet has been made safer as a result of the Government's Internet censorship regime.
		Although government reports claim prohibited Australian content has been taken-down from the Internet, the government's desire to amend Freedom of Information law, to place a thicker veil of secrecy over operation of the regime than already exists, demonstrates the government is well aware that "taken-down" content remains publicly accessible on the Internet.
		Protection of children on the Internet is a serious community problem, requiring adequate police resources and a commitment to community education, including practical Internet lessons for children and for adults unfamiliar with computer and Internet technology.

		Sanitization (removal) and whitewashing are almost interchangeable terms that refer to a particular form of censorship via omission, which seeks to "clean up" the portrayal of particular issues and/or facts that are already known, but that may be in conflict with the point of view of the censor.
		However, censorship is often alleged when an essentially private entity, such as a corporation, regulates access to information in a communication forum that serves a significant share of the public.

		While the new censorship legislation has made no immediate difference to my access to Internet content (I happen to have no interest in the material considered to be prohibited content), I believe it is an inappropriate use of taxes.

	Australia goes stark raving mad over Net censorship \| The Register
		The South Australia Parliament is pushing an Internet censorship bill that will make it an offence for anyone to post any information deemed offensive to children anywhere on the Internet.
		The basic premise of the legislation appears to be that since kids are able to access Internet sites at any time, then everything on the Internet ought to be acceptable to children.
		We searched the South Australia Parliament Web site but their search function is useless and the site is poorly updated.

	First Principles - Robin Whittle
		Telecommunications privacy and related issues: telemarketing, a Do-Not-Call registry for Australia, Internet censorship and a systematic review of which matters are most suitable for government regulation or self-regulation.
		In late 2005, the Department released a discussion paper on how telemarketing in Australia might be regulated by a Do-Not-Call system to protect people at home and at work.
		This submission proposes criteria for determining whether formal regulation is required - and if it is required, for determining whether it should be accomplished directly by government, by an industry developed self-regulatory approach, or by an industry based "forced-self-regulatory" approach developed to meet government priorities, on threat of legislative regulation.

		In her presentation, Ann Symons said that there is nothing good about filtering the Internet, except perhaps that it gives parents a choice to use filtering software.
		The "ugly" side of Internet censorship is that filters are used in publicly funded institutions.

		Originally, it was allowed into Australia only with the game's internal censorship feature (that removed all the women) turned permanently on, but this ruling was later overturned and it was placed on sale unmodified (MA 15+ rating from the OFLC in both instances).
		Although this much delayed title was mentioned numerous times as justification for the creation of games censorship schemes around the world, it was never put to the test in Australia as no one submitted it for classification and thus it was never sold here.

	vigilant tv: South Australia approves internet censorship law
		The South Australian state government has passed an internet censorship bill that prohibits the publication of material unsuitable for children, even if minors are prevented from accessing it.
		Thus, even if content which could be rated R is put up on a password-protected region of a site, and the password is provided only to adults, one could still be prosecuted under criminal law.
		A practically identical bill was introduced in South Australia in November 2000 but was not passed by either house of parliament in February 2002, just before the last elections were held in the state.
