Two hours later, Mr Turnbull took to Twitter to say that: "The policy was 
in error - I would never support a mandatory internet filter."

He released a media statement that read: "The Coalition has never supported 
mandatory internet filtering. Indeed, we have a long record of opposing it. 

"The policy which was issued today was poorly worded and incorrectly 
indicated that the Coalition supported an 'opt out' system of internet 
filtering for both mobile and fixed line services. That is not our policy 
and never has been.

"The correct position is that the Coalition will encourage mobile phone and 
internet service providers to make available software which parents can 
choose to install on their own devices to protect their children from 
inappropriate material.

"The policy posted online today is being replaced with the correct 
version."
