Communications Minister Stephen Conroy announces A$125.8 million (US$116.2 million) national content filtering scheme. The plan has provoked a wrath of criticism from industry and privacy groups, who previously attacked the scheme when it was announced in January.

The funds will be allocated over four years, and will precede a trial of content filtering technology by the ACMA.”]
