4 June 2010 Launch of Safer Internet Group[ pdf 86KB ] We are launching the Safer Internet Group to work with government to promote a safer online experience for Australian families. We have a practical plan for making the internet safer for our kids through comprehensive policing of the internet, better education of internet users and by the use of tools and technology that really work. We support all practical measures to make the internet safer. The Government's proposed Mandatory Internet Filter just will not work to keep Australian families safe online. It is too easy to get around. In fact, it could create a false sense of security for parents who think an internet filter would make their children safe online. The Safer Internet Group brings together Australia's leading sponsors of research, outreach and online safety campaigns. These include Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA), Australian Council of State School Organisations Inc (ACSSO), Google, iiNet, Inspire Foundation, Internet Industry Association (IIA), Internet Society of Australia (ISOC-AU), Internode, System Administrators Guild of Australia (SAGE-AU) and Yahoo! We agree that Australia needs to take effective action to ensure that internet users, and particularly children, have a safe experience online, while preserving the benefits of open internet access for all Australians. We believe that the most effective way to protect Australia’s children on the internet is achieved by a combination of safety enhancing measures including comprehensive policing of the internet and more effective education. Our members have developed a five point plan to make the internet safer. It is comprehensive and practical. And we know it works.
It delivers on:
