We've been heard - again!
The House of Reps Standing Committee has released its report - 'Protecting the Age of Innocence' - following its Inquiry into #AgeVerification for online porn. aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_…

We welcome the news that the Committee has called for a 'roadmap for the implementation of a regime of mandatory #AgeVerification for online pornographic material'. @eSafetyOffice @tweetinjules

Collective Shout and Director @MelTankardReist were pleased to make submissions to the Inquiry and to give evidence in parliament at the Inquiry hearing. collectiveshout.org/submission_to_…

The Committee's report cites evidence from Collective Shout and Movement Director @MelTankardReist, including a reference to connections between attitudes associated with viewing porn and 'the epidemic of violence against women'. @MelLiszewski #VAW #AgeVerification

'@MelTankardReist told the Committee that 'children are frequently seeing violent depictions of sex, torture, rape and incest porn.' - 'Protecting the Age of Innocence' #AgeVerification

In line with our stance the Committee concluded that '#AgeVerification can create a signficant barrier to prevent young people - and particularly young children - from exposure to harmful online content.' Read the full report here> aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_… #AgeVerification
