Stephen Conroy, you seriously have no idea how the internet works both on a technical and on a social level. To quote you directly "The Government understands that ISP-level filtering is not a 'silver bullet'."....Damn right it's not because it will actually achieve the opposite of what you are trying to do. Every attempt to censor information on the Internet has failed. There is a very common social phenomenom on the Internet called "the Streisand Effect". A recent example of this is the attempted censorship by IWF UK (an organisation whom you will be collaborating with) of a 30 year old album cover entitled "Virgin Killer". This album cover lay in the depths of obscurity until UK ISP's filtered this and subsequently stopped UK citizens from editing Wikipedia. The day users found out about this, "Virgin Killer" had gone from a little known album to the most searched and viewed item on Wikipedia. I urge you to please do your research on Internet censorship and the Streisand Effect because your ISP filtering policy will NOT protect anyone. It will only seek to bring child pornography and "unwanted" content into Australian lounge rooms.
