Hey Australian Internet Peeps of the 1990s,

I am trying to find some definitive information about a Federal(?) government “Community Public Access Network (CPAN)”, which I believe existed between at least 1995-1997.

I have solid memories of this as a teenager visiting a local Government building to access the internet (which was mainly gopher at the time) and obtaining an email address which was @cpan.???.gov.au with Eudora on a floppy disk. The service I think shut down around 1997 and people were told to go and sign up with new email provider Hotmail.

I have not been able to find any references to this early internet service and would love to try and get some information about it.

Special Shoutout @NewtonMark any chance you have any knowledge on this, or have a contact who would? (I am too scared to cold-message Geoff Huston :))

NSW to review law that presumes children under 14 are incapable of evil

After a 2016 high court ruling, the conviction rates of children aged 10 to 13 have plummeted in NSW, report finds

In 2016, a high court ruling clarified doli incapax, resulting in prosecutors needing to prove the child understood they were seriously wrong when committing a crime. Since then, conviction rates of children aged 10 to 13 have plummeted.

A NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (Bocsar) report found the proportion of 10- to 13-year-olds with a proven outcome – guilty or not guilty – in the NSW children’s court tumbled from 76% in 2015-16 to 16% in 2022-23.

The prosecution withdrew charges in more than half of all cases in 2022-23, with similar patterns in Victoria and South Australia.
