A government controlled filter with no rights for individuals to know what has been filtered - but you suggest that this is not a freedom of speech issue? What happens when we next get a Howard, or a Hanson, into power? How can we be assured that this blacklist won't be abused, when we aren't even allowed to know what is on it? And the "it's just about child porn" excuse is feeble. Surely you are also planning to block sites promoting terrorism? And promoting racist violence? And future governments can extend the list. We've just voted out a government that would deport folks like Mohamed Haneef and Scott Parkin without trial - how can you assure us that future (or current!) governments won't abuse a hidden internet blacklist?
