Minister, why is it that under section 26 ‘the responsible person for a publicly funded computer must ensure that a filter that has been accredited, in writing, by the telecommunications minister is installed on the computer’ but that that accreditation is not a legislative instrument? Why is it that the minister is given this power but parliament is not given an overview of it?
