And you are mistaken.
In July 2009, it was reported that the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) had plans to introduce Internet filtering in New Zealand.
- Beagle, Thomas (10 May 2009). "The Response from Internal Affairs".
- Freitas, Mauricio (11 July 2009). "Government plans to filter New Zealand Internet".
- Government plans to filter the Internet in New Zealand - now in full official draft.
However, the New Zealand Department of Internal Affairs ran a trial internet filtering scheme in conjunction with Ihug, Watchdog, Maxnet and TelstraClear in 2007/2008 and is planning to fully implement it in 2009/2010.
The Censorship Compliance Unit of the DIA is responsible for enforcing the Film, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993 (the Act) – New Zealand’s censorship legislation. As the Act contains no specific legislative authority for website filtering, participation by the ISPs was on a voluntary basis.
