Abstract: This thesis examines the adequacy of the Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993 as it applies to expression on the Internet. Weaknesses and inadequacies of the statute are identified and contextualised as flowing from the lack of legal development needed to coincide with the disruptive features of Internet technology, not least the change to the media/content distribution model. The statute is not likely to be fit for purpose as the technology develops further. Three suggestions for reform are proposed which aim to improve the law so that it may withstand future challenges. The reform takes into consideration the purposes of the statute, a normative law-making perspective and the right to freedom of expression. Without adequate censorship legislation, the state risks ceding law-making authority over Internet expression to un-elected, non-democratic and rights-ambivalent private entities.
