In addition to the measures I have just outlined, the government is also undertaking a review of existing Australian and international cyber safety research. The outcomes of this should be available shortly, and they will also help inform government policy. Consistent with the government’s election commitments, we have also delivered on developing other cyber safety initiatives, including professional development for teachers and curriculum resources provided by ACMA as well as presentations for parents, teachers and students. ACMA has delivered a professional development program to over 1,200 teachers since November 2007. It has delivered internet safety presentations to over 350 schools and approximately 40,000 participants. One hundred thousand new resource kits have been distributed to libraries and families since July 2008. The cyber smart detectives activity has also been played by many students. (Time expired)
