"As a society I feel strongly that it is our duty to protect our children and young people from harmful material that is so freely accessible on the internet. The material that I am referring to is that which was highlighted in Ms Costa’s report referring to that of strong connotations of violence, discrimination, sexism, and racism. This type of material has long been statistically proven to have negative as well as adverse effects on children. Thus, I feel that it is our responsibility to try to prevent exposure of such material to young people. It is my opinion that we cannot do this alone as legislatures but we must enlist the assistance of parents, schools and the communities in which these children live. In saying that I would like to emphasise that the internet is a viable and necessary tool in which children can learn from and explore, in fact there may very well be children watching us online as we are working now to protect them. Therefore it must be said that while we are putting energy in to safeguarding the internet for children just as much energy should be put into the positive side as well."@en1
