There's already legislation for opt-in filtering that came in around the end of the 1990s, but it was so technically nonviable that it didn't seem to go anywhere.
Filtering is a fine balance between outraged parents and excessive collateral damage. A computer program is not a replacement for proper parental supervision.
It is still a difficult technical issue. This will fail just like the other law did, but it will still be yahoo'd about at every opportunity so that Australians think the govt is taking care of them.
