They forgot Family First's policy:

http://www.familyfirst.org.au/policy.php#sfp_por

"Family First will work to achieve Government commitment to establish a
Mandatory Filtering Scheme at the ISP Server Level in this country. A
combination of Government subsidy and industry contributions could be
explored to fund set up of such a scheme. Whilst set up costs will be
large at $45 million, Family First believes that this cost is justified
for the protection of vulnerable children within our community.

Family First will propose that once set up, this scheme will be funded
through a levy system so as to spread ongoing costs equitably amongst
all end users. Family First expects this levy would be of the order of
between $7 and $10 annually per end user."
