THE Federal Government plans to stop Australians
gaining access to
websites used to organise protests.
The move is part of a major crackdown on
Internet-assisted crime.
Justice Minister Chris Ellison, acting on a request
from NSW Police Minister
Michael Costa, will look at upgrading federal
powers to block certain
websites.
A police ministers meeting in Darwin this week
agreed it was "unacceptable
websites advocating or facilitating violent protest
action be accessible from
Australia".
