Darkness at Noon

Obviously Mike Meloni over at Somebody Think Of The Children has been paying close attention to the Senate’s Estimates Committee (a transcript of which will be uploaded here here when it is ready and can be listened to live).

It is worth reposting some of his latest post here:

In response to Senate questions, ACMA admitted this evening that their current blacklist contains only 32% child abuse material. During a Senate Standing Legislation Committee for Environment, Communications & the Arts, they revealed that the list contains 51% refused classification material (which includes child abuse material), meaning the other 49% is rated X18+ or less.

Given these numbers, 68% of the current list is almost definitely legal content.
