4. Increased Support for Parents 

a. Nationally agreed default safety standards for smartphones and other devices, and internet access services 

The Coalition believes that keeping children safe online is ultimately the responsibility of parents and others charged with the welfare of children – but they need better support from government and industry. 

We will work with mobile phone companies (such as Telstra, Optus, Vodafone and their resellers) to develop online safety standards for smartphones and other devices with mobile network connectivity such as tablets, applicable to their use by children in two age groups: children up to the age of 12 years and teenagers. 

As has recently been achieved in the UK, we expect these standards will involve mobile phone operators installing adult content filters on phones which will be switched on as the default unless the customer proves he or she is at least 18 years of age. 

The Coalition will work with internet service providers (which provide fixed line broadband services to the home) to develop online safety standards for those services, recognising that they are very often accessed by children. 

As has recently been achieved in the UK, we expect these standards will involve the major internet service providers providing home network filters for all new home broadband services, which will be switched on as the default unless the customer specifies otherwise. 

This is a very different approach to the discredited compulsory filter proposal championed by the Rudd-Gillard Government, which was abandoned as unworkable. 

The Coalition’s approach aims to empower parents – by giving them the choice of whether or not to operate a filter at home, but by establishing the default setting as one which provides maximum protection. 

In each case, this work will be led by the Children’s e-Safety Commissioner, who will establish an expert stakeholder group (including representatives of industry and representatives of groups charged with the welfare of children such as schools, parents, police and youth mental health experts) to assist in this work. 

The Children’s e-Safety Commissioner will work with industry to ensure that major players offer default safety standards for smartphones and other devices, and internet access services. There would be agreed branding or symbols that could be applied to products and services which meet the default safety standards. 

The Children’s e-Safety Commissioner will develop default safety standards for smartphones and other devices, and internet access services, within 12 months of the election.

The Hon Malcolm Turnbull MP Shadow Minister for Communications and Broadband

The Coalition has never supported mandatory internet filtering. Indeed, we have a long record of opposing it. The policy which was issued today was poorly worded and incorrectly indicated that the Coalition supported an “opt out” system of internet filtering for both mobile and fixed line services. That is not our policy and never has been. The correct position is that the Coalition will encourage mobile phone and internet service providers to make available software which parents can choose to install on their own devices to protect their children from inappropriate material. The policy posted online today is being replaced with the correct version.

Policy with effect following the statement above issued by the Hon. Malcolm Turnbull MP, Shadow Minister for Communications and Broadband.
