In the media we are regularly hearing of people being prosecuted for possession of child pornography, generally found on their computers. The positive side of this is that these people are being identified, caught and charged, and the prospect of them ever being allowed to work or be involved in an environment with other peoples children becomes much less likely. So any attempt to apply content filtering inevitably makes it harder for our law enforcement agencies to track the flow of child pornography over the internet as offenders will be forced to find more complex protocols for its transmission. I have always been a Labour Party supporter and have admired the party for its progressive policies. In contrast this mandatory content filtering scheme looks like something that came from out of the Hillsong Church and its associated political offshoot, the Family First party.
