Please ensure you read the interviews with a white hacker at banthisurl.com so you clearly understand why your filters will (a) be pathetically easy to circumvent (b) expose Australians to man in the middle hacker attacks (c) enable your blacklist to be purloined. eg. "If you’ve got a blacklist, by its nature it has to be at every ISP — even the small regional ones. If they don‘t have it at every ISP then they have nothing to filter. They could have some sort of fancy updating mechanism, but I’ve seen a lot of the updating mechanisms and they’re usually not very good. Probably the whole technical staff at each ISP would be able to access the blacklist, and if you’ve got what could be a few thousand people being able to access the blacklist, that’s a huge risk that you’re taking." Stop drinking the Kool Aid the net filter and VPN companies and prancing moral bandits are patently feeding you and LEARN. As for freedom of speech, political freedom of speech is only protected by implication under the Australian constitution. Any Charter of Rights which may be forthcoming from which is present consultations needs proper entrenchment by act of parliament, and should include Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers." Stop getting in the way of our human rights, please, and leave OUR internet alone. We don't want or need your filters, they are UNDEMOCRATIC and an invasion of our privacy. Leave the policing to the police. Those who wish to protect themselves and their children from internet information have ample means to do so through existing "family friendly" ISP fees and a plethora of PC based software - the rest of us are quite able look after ourselves and children and have done so without a problem for many years. You scope-creeped from Labor election policies in regard to internet filtering, and frankly I suspect you will scope-creep again.
