Gladys Berejiklian MP
Shadow Minister for Youth
Shadow Minister for Youth Affairs Gladys Berejiklian welcomed the new National Filter Scheme announced today by the Federal Government, which will provide every Australian family with a free internet filter to help prevent young people falling victim to internet pornography.
“This announcement will be warmly received by NSW parents who are concerned with what their children may access either intentionally or unintentionally on the internet,” Ms Berejiklian said.
“It will also help prevent young people from falling victim to unscrupulous predators in search of unsuspecting youngsters via the internet," she said.

"It is also reassuring that the filter will extend to the National Library of Australia through all its public access terminals.
“The NSW Government must assure the community it will follow the lead of the Federal Government by encouraging all state libraries to mirror the action required of the National Library of Australia in making as many of their computers as possible child-safe.
“This is an important initiative in child protection and the Federal Government must be congratulated for making this technology accessible to the wider community," Ms Berejiklian said.
