Internet trolls and cyber-bullies face jail under amended Commonwealth law | The Courier-Mail

The Abbott Government is working on laws that will make it easier for prosecutors to charge cyber bullies by simplifying a current "menacing" offence, which attracts jail time.

The crackdown will be supported by new laws and a complaints system that will allow "harmful" material to be pulled off websites quickly. The plan is being discussed with state and territory ministers.
