As a new Australian working in technology, I'm tired of being ridiculed (by friends internationally) about this government's consideration of even considering a trial of an internet censorship/filtering platform. It's shown the world that Australia doesn't understand what the internet is - please - it makes us all look stupid. And it's going to hinder future investment when we appear so ridiculous to the rest of the world. It's already made an election decision for me. Look at ever post on slashdot.org which relates to technology in Australia - the first comments are ALWAYS ridiculing us due to this whole filtering scheme.
