The Federal Government’s proposed mandatory internet filter is due to be introduced to Parliament this month.

If passed, it could come into effect as early as next year – making Australia the first democratic country to have large-scale internet filtering.

Stop The Filter Perth is a group that’s against the proposed legislation.

They’ve organised a protest, taking place this Saturday in Forrest Place in the city.

Protest organiser Trish Zanetti and Curtin University Lecturer in Internet Studies Dr. Tama Leaver joined Meri Fatin on Morning Magazine.
