It is obvious that people such as Senator Conroy have no idea about the way the internet works and if they believe that forcing the Australian public into a Chinese based system will work then they should wake up and get proper technical advice Let me make this clear: Filtering sites from at the ISP point WILL NOT stop people accessing illegal images/video’s etc. These will still be able to access through different technologies and methods. Applying filtration at the ISP point WILL make the connection speed slower for all Australian users than what it already is (that are currently well below global standards to start with). Questions: Who will be paying for the implementation and maintenance cost of Senator Conroy hair brain idea? Will the Australian public be so lucky that the Government will, or will the Australian public have to pay more for their internet access which already one of the most expensive in the world? Has Senator Conroy investigated and reported the costs that this will have on Australian industry, if so where can this be found? Has Senator Conroy investigated alternative methods to address these illegal sites and people undertaking illegal activity such us addressing the issue at the source.
