Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The alert Mr Pfahlert said new cyber technologies provide
many exciting learning and communication opportunities, but there are
also some potential problems.
"Increasingly parents and the wider community are
becoming aware of issues such as cyber-bullying and harassment and
identity theft which place the safety and well-being of children and
young people at risk.
"SuperClubsPLUS Australia is a fantastic initiative as it takes out the
risk factor completely and ensures children are safe, and all their
interaction is monitored when they go online," Mr Pfahlert said.
Dr Martyn Wild added that: "What SuperClubsPLUS Australia means for
children is that they can communicate, express themselves, and learn in
a fun, social and interactive way. These kids are learning even when
they don't know they are.
"What it means for parents is that they can feel assured that their
children are engaging in an online environment that is safe and
moderated at all times.”
The Telstra Foundation said that its support of SuperClubsPLUS Australia is “part of a wider, $3 million focus on cyber safety.”
Access to SuperClubsPLUS Australia is required through primary schools.
Parents are encouraged to ask their children's school if they have registered for SuperClubsPLUS Australia or are planning to.

site for more information, a site that sounds perfect for preparing
today's children for the ever evolving cyber-age, adding that extra
level of in-school education to supplement whatever online safety
education parents are (or aren't) already providing their children.
