Why did the Australian Multicultural Foundation release this app?

"We felt that, look, parents are obviously anxious about the risks the internet poses and want to protect their children from the dangerous material, unwanted contact, online grooming, cyber bullying and radicalisation. And we also felt that if you wanted to deal with these issues, or these behavioural issues, or problems that may arise from the use of the internet - don't get me wrong - it's obviously a wonderful tool and there's so much benefit in it but also we undoubtedly it's necessary to be aware of some of the risks and dangers of the internet as well."

AMF Executive Director Hass Dellal

The app is also available in English, Arabic, Chinese, Dari, Dinka, Farsi, Greek, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Pashto, Spanish, Somali, Turkish, Urdu and Vietnamese.
