Mr Conroy,

I do not understand how you can propose a blanket filter to all Australia without even the courtesy of publishing the black listed websites free for all Australia to read.

You say your are trying to stamp out Child porn - noble but your filter will not cover peer-2-peer. Which I am sure most is passed as people know websites are monitored. If you are worried about this scurge - invest more funds into the police force or even create an elite cyber tracking unit (or expand the already working cyber unit as I read all the time on the news more are being caught).

This is nothing more than censorship, however which way you try and spin it. You are taking the responsibility out of Australian's hands and not giving us at least the slightest say - I am sure this post will not be posted... As it is subversive to your goal but I am writing it anyway.

What gaurantee is there that any political media will not be black listed if it does not conform to your (the government) views. What public oversight is there in this regard and why is the blacklisted material ran by an overseas company?

Listen to the people - there is nothing but negative responses all across the web of your proposed web filter.

It will slow our already laughable broadband network to even slower speeds. It is not rocket science it is an easy fact for anyone to comprehend; espieally IT literate whom are the majority.
