Another question in relation to the supposed bittorrent / p2p filtering:

If a person puts a file on bittorrent called "holiday photos.zip", how could any filtering software know that it contains child pornography?

All that will happen is the bad guys will simply rename the files. The filter will be useless.

Until Mr Conroy explains this scenario, I would suggest the supposed filtering will never work.

If Mr Conroy and the Labor government believes so strongly this filtering will work, they should publicly state to the nation: "Labor will resign from government and give power to the Liberal party if any child pornography is unfiltered after the new system is put in place".

If the Labor party will not put their own heads on the line, then clearly this filtering will never stop all child pornography.

Then the only conclusion is the "child pornography" is a convenient excuse, and the government wants to control the internet.

It is a simple challenge to Mr Conroy: Promise that Labor will quit government if the filters are introduced and don't work. After all, a government that fails to protect children, does not deserve power.
