The digital economy will not move forward if you filter the internet. Our broadband will slow by 80% as shown in tests, and large swathes of the internet, including access to editing wikipedia will be blocked (as shown in the UK, using the very same filtering list you plan on using).

People overwhelmingly rejected Howard's move to filter the internet and will do the same to your efforts (which are far and away more draconian than Howard's).

I and many others will vote against you at the next election, to ensure that only parties against filtering retain their seats.

Senator Conroy must be sacked as he has shown time and time again his ignorance of the internet.

You've currently got over 200 comments here, you will soon have over 10, 000. All will be anti-filtering.

Also, if you are even contemplating allowing Telstra to build the new broadband network, you have rocks in your head. They charge the same price as other country's (much faster) broadband access, for their incredibly slow copper access.

You already know about the petitions on this issue, what more do you need to hear to understand that facism will not be accepted in Australia.

The Greens and the Liberals must vote against this in the senate. It's strange - it's the first time I'll have supported the Liberals.
