Last year, Australia announced a $117 million initiative to offer every family in Austrialia a free Internet filter. Australian Prime Minister John Howard announced this week a more aggressive campaign to protect children, committing $189 million to the efforts.
The Age reports that under the "NetAlert" package $43.5 million will be allocated to hire 90 additional police officers to track child sexual exploitation online. $11.7 million will pay for officers to educate parents and children about Internet safety.
Mr. Howard also reaffirmed the government's commitment to ensuring that every Australian family and library have a free filter to reduce threats to children.
"CP80 acknowledges and applauds Australia's consistent efforts to protect its children from Internet pornography," said CP80's President, Ralph Yarro.
The CP80 Foundation is pleased to offer free training to individuals who wish to learn more about the Internet, pornography, current laws and the CP80 Internet Channel Initiative.
