Internal Affairs Minister Tracey Martin is extremely disappointed in her coalition partners for blocking her plans to restrict access to online pornography. 

The New Zealand First MP failed to get agreement from the Labour and Green parties to advance a proposal which would have introduced pornography filters on home internet connections.

Labour said it was not completely against the idea, but that it needed more work.

Tracey Martin told Simon and Phil she was surprised at the lack of support from Labour and the Greens.
