On 15 December 2009, the Australian Federal Labor Government announced the third version of their mandatory ISP-level blocking policy/plan, which bears zero resemblance to Labor's November 2007 election policy. The Government plans to mandate that ISPs block adults' access to content on a secret blacklist, compiled by a government agency, that the Government deems unsuitable for adults. However, ISPs will not be required to even offer to block any adults-only material, i.e. X18+ pornography or R18+. Hence, the mandatory ISP blocking system will be utterly useless for a purpose of protecting children online.
