Mr Average

exactly what percentage of internet traffic is considered serious enough to shield us from ?

I fail to see the value in slowing down what is one of the slowest connection speeds among connected nations, in a vain attempt to impose a censorship that the industry and majority of users neither need or want.

Notwithstanding the moral intentions of the proposed filtering, "clean feed" will only make the task of apprehending offenders more difficult as they are driven to more "secure" methods of encryption and subversion. Moreover it will "punish" everyone with a predicted significant slowdown in internet connection speeds, something that is diametrically opposed to the governments stated mandate to increase connection speeds across the nation And once the censoring starts, where will it end ?

Stop wasting time and money, get on with the real issues like homelessness, poverty, health, substance abuse, public transport, infrastructure, unemployment, and prosecuting the corporate fat cats that are responsible for the financial fiasco. Or shut up and crawl back under your rock.
