The Australian government has abandoned its five-year pledge to introduce a compulsory filter blocking child pornography and other objectionable internet content.
Instead, internet service providers have agreed to block 1,400 child abuse websites on Interpol's 'worst of' list, said Communications Minister Stephen Conroy.
Three of Australia's largest telecommunications companies - Telstra, Optus and Primus - have been blocking the listed sites anyway since 2010.
