House of Assembly Fifty-First Parliament, Second Session (51-2) 51 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Bills Child Sex Offenders Registration (Registration of Internet Activities) Amendment Bill CHILD SEX OFFENDERS REGISTRATION (REGISTRATION OF INTERNET ACTIVITIES) AMENDMENT BILL Second Reading Second Reading Adjourned debate on second reading. (Continued from 5 June 2008. Page 3453.) Mr KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly West Torrens Mr KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (10:43): The government will support this legislation. It congratulates the member for Davenport on moving it. The caucus has resolved to support his amendment. His amendment goes a long way to dealing with the scourge of child sex offences. I think there is not a member in this house who does not think that we should do all we can to protect our children from the evils of sexual predators. Sexual predators are probably the scourge of the modern world and they are using modern technology, such as the internet, to prey on innocent victims. We have to do all we can. The government has been a leader in the field of protecting children from predators on the internet. Our federal and state police forces are doing an excellent job in setting stings and traps to catch these predators. The member for Davenport's amendments are sensible, are workable and the government supports them, and hopefully they will have a speedy passage. The Hon. I.F. EVANS House of Assembly Davenport The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (10:45): I thank the government for its welcome support on the bill. Bill read a second time and taken through its remaining stages.
