Kim asked <<OK so do the laptops given to Australian children have this capability?

And the answer is that management of security and privacy issues for computers purchased under the Australian Government's National Secondary Schools Computer Fund is the responsibility of the relevant education authority, which means the State Department for Government schools.  An example is the NSW Government policy which can be found at: https://www.det.nsw.edu.au/policies/technology/computers/l4l/PD20090395.shtml?level=Schools
