"The Coalition has never supported mandatory internet filtering. Indeed, we have a long record of opposing it," the statement said.
"The policy which was issued today was poorly worded and incorrectly indicated that the Coalition supported an 'opt-out' system of internet filtering for both mobile and fixed-line services. That is not our policy and never has been.
