Let's face it, Conroy is using child pornography as a Trojan Horse. By appealing to "protecting the children" he is hoping Australians will opt for slower internet, higher costs, and extensive government-controlled censorship. Why? Because throughout the ages, governments have feared people getting hold of information. They see the internet as a threat and therefore want to control it. This is why his plans have no opt-in or opt-out component. They are designed to be compulsory for ALL Australians, whether you have kids or not. Beyond any other issue, THIS is the vote-changer for me. I volunteered my time at the last election to help Labor win government. I now feel extremely betrayed. If Conroy goes ahead with his plans, I will put every effort into trying to get rid of this government at the next election.
