Senator HANSON-YOUNG (South Australia—Manager of Australian Greens Business in the Senate) (18:18): This is putting lipstick on a pig. It's not going to work. You can't even explain it.
You don't know how much it's going to cost. To seriously suggest that public officials are going to need to spend their time scouring the internet, from porn sites to news sites to gaming sites to sports sites, and that Australians are going to feel comfortable handing their details over to the government to do that—you know this is a farce. You know this is a farce.
Who advised the government that AdStop would work?
