10175 (2025). Benjamin Doyle to the Minister of Internal Affairs: How does the new digital database, introduced by the Minister and designed to prevent the spread of illegal extremist content online, specifically address transphobic and homophobic online content, if at all?

Hon Brooke van Velden: The ‘hash’ database relates to violent extremism content that has already been classified by the Office of Film and Literature Classification (the Classification Office). Where transphobic and homophobic material has been classified by the Classification Office, and is within the definition of violent extremism, it will join other entries in the ‘hash’ database.
