To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled: The petition of the undersigned shows:
That the citizens of Australia:
Draw to the attention of the Senate that mandatory Internet filtering is censorship. Assert that it is the role of the individual to determine how their Internet service is filtered and what content is filtered, rather than the government. Your petitioners ask/request that the Senate:
Vote against any legislation or disallow any legislative instrument that requires, forces, or otherwise compels an Internet Service Provider, Carriage Services Provider or other enterprise or organisation concerned with provision of access to the Internet to offer, or to filter any Australian user's Internet connection unless expressly requested to do so by the said user. Reject any plan to filter the Internet and redirect funding to law enforcement agencies or education programs.
