The answer to the honourable senator's question is as follows:

(1) The ACMA and the department have not examined the Secure Kids Chat platform. However, the department has visited the Secure Kids Chat website to gain a preliminary understanding of the platform.

(2) No.

(3) Yes. On 14 March 2012, I responded to a representation from Mr Robert Oakeshott MP on behalf of Secure Kids Chat in which I said:

'At this stage, my department does not offer any grants that can assist Mr Gray and

Ms Redmond with their project. You can however direct them to GrantsLINK for a directory of all currently available Australian Government grants which is available at www.grantslink.gov.au'

(4) Please see response to question 3 above.
