I personally dont think the "digital economy" is a seperate entity; rather it is just a medium & part of the larger Australian economy. Nevertheless, we will rely on the internet & digital mediums more and more as the years go by. We must invest in proper, and UPGRADEABLE communications infrastrucutre NOW. There's no point spending billions on something we're only going to have to completely replace in 5-10 years time. Add to that, also let's recognise that this stupid notion of filtering the internet is an outrage, an international embarrasment, giving FAR too much power to a government, and most likely to be extremely ineffective and very costly. I for one am extremely opposed to this proposed policy, it is draconian style legislation that is only in place in countries with a known history of human rights abuse.
