Democrats deny party dying Is this the end of what once was Australia's third political party and a voice for moderation in the federal Senate? Is another minor party of moderate standing likely to move into the void, or are we likely to see the Greens increase their standing to a certain...

So rather than a parent taking responsibility for what their children look at when online, an ALP government would rather force adults to opt in? I do realise that many people may not be able to afford the software required to block internet pornography, that many may not be aware of it and/or...
