"The Minister for Home Affairs Bob Debus launched the Child Exploitation Tracking System which would help police better protect children from online abuse. “No form of child abuse will be tolerated and the internet is no longer an anonymous place for offenders who target and prey on children,” Mr Debus said. Developed by Microsoft, the technology is a software tool that enables the AFP to work with law enforcement agencies throughout Australia and around the world, to share and track information relating to online child exploitation and abuse.Mr Debus said it would increase the effectiveness of police investigations."
