A chance to deliver opinion will be opened to the public regarding the controversial Internet content filter by the Federal Government to the parliament.

Today, a call will be issued by the Joint Select Committee for public submissions on topics regarding legislative review including Internet filtering, privacy breaches and identity theft.

A parliamentary public review will be requested by the committee once submissions are reviewed.

According to Computerworld Australia, Former Optus regulation chief and Liberal MP Paul Fletcher stated that the committee will be informing the government on important issues regarding Internet filtering, and renewed coalition calls for an independent audit into the proposal.

He remained to be convinced that filtering is practicable. There was a lot of intrepid talk regarding how the plan can protect every parent and child.

South Australian Labor Senator Dana Wortley chairs the 12-member committee and New South Wales Liberal Party MP Alex Hawke as the deputy chair. Also in the panel are labor senators Guy Barnett and Kate Lundy and New South Wales Independent Robert Oakeshott MP.

Scott Ludlam, the Western Australia Greens Senator, an enthusiastic critic of the filter, secured a seat on the committee after losing a spot by two votes from Family First Senator Steve Feilding previously.

Debates over the moral grounds of the filter plan have been on ire since the Rudd Government was elected in year 2007.

The filter was proposed then under the Beazley-led Labor Party 12 months preceding its election, while the Communications Minister Helen Coonan had condemned the idea and offered the currently fragmented Net Alert home Internet content filter.
