<p>Qantas has defended the adequacy of its internet filters after a
man accessed child pornography in its Melbourne Airport lounge.</p>
<p>Mark Stephen Heers, 45, of St Leonards, NSW, pleaded guilty in
the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday to three counts of using
the internet to access child pornography, including on a public
computer at the Qantas Club last September.</p>
<p>Heers was arrested after a fellow passenger saw him looking at
pornographic images on the computer and alerted staff, who notified
the Australian Federal Police.</p>
<p>Prosecutor Jan McAlpine told the court Heers viewed 76 child
pornography files over a 40-minute period in the Qantas lounge. She
said some of the images were of children as young as six years.</p>
A spokesman for Qantas, Jo Aston, said the airline had always
had "a string of access restrictions in place", and was committed
to "continually monitoring and enhancing" its filters.<br><br>etc at<br><a href="http://www.theage.com.au/news/news/child-porn-viewed-in-qantas-lounge/2008/05/19/1211049115897.html">http://www.theage.com.au/news/news/child-porn-viewed-in-qantas-lounge/2008/05/19/1211049115897.html</a><br><br><br><div><br><br><br><br>-- <br><br><br>Narelle<br><a href="mailto:narellec@gmail.com">narellec@gmail.com</a><br><br><br><br><br></div></div>
