This whole filtering concept appears to me to be a trade with a couple of independents in return for their support for other government initiatives. I can only assume this because no minister with any understanding of the public's wishes would undertake such a stupid initiative. ISP filtering will be the death of internet performance and, worse still, is just one step away from government censorship of any material (not just pornographic) which they don't want the public to see. This may well include political material which is inconsistent with the government's own views. I can only hope that the government receives the backlash from this "nanny state" initiative that it deserves.
