Collective Shout, a small but vocal lobby group, has long called for a mandatory internet filter that would prevent access to adult content for everyone in Australia. Its director, Melinda Tankard Reist, was recently appointed to the stakeholder advisory board for the government’s age assurance technology trial before the under-16s social media ban comes into effect in Australia in December.

Unfortunately crypto is already complicated as is. And as the other user said bitcoin isn't the best choice. Monero would be as close to the overall goal as it is possible.

Now using monero would be more anonymous than credit/debit cards making it a better option - but not many vendors support it, and cash is just simpler than any other option.

I want to buy a game online. How do I use cash?

Go to your local store and buy a Steam gift card.

Whoah whoah whoah! They need to keep that cash in a wallet, don't wave it around, look out for pickpockets, don't carry too much, and a slew of other common sense things that I won't list now but will mock you for not doing later.
