"A Liberal National government in Australia would adopt the opt-out UK
approach to filtering the internet for all Australians.

The policy comes less than 41 hours before polls open for voting in the
federal election where the Coalition is currently expected to win. It is
also almost a year after the Labor government abandoned its plans for
mandatory internet filtering, and three years after the Coalition
announced that it would not support a policy for mandatory internet
filtering."
