78565 (2024). Hon Jan Tinetti to the Minister of Internal Affairs: Further to her answer to written question 75396 (2024): Did the Minister request advice on making these costs user pays for overseas operators, if not, why not?
Hon Brooke van Velden: No. The option of internet filtering or blocking was discounted based on advice I received from the Department of Internal Affairs that filtering is ineffective as it is easy to circumvent via VPN and is highly resource intensive compared to other options.
