The unfortunate thing here is that we have a Senator who has no idea about even the basics of technology trying to impress his, or his masters view/s on the majority of normal Australians.

Just about everyone except Conroy and the voters he needs to back him up knows this rubbish just will not work.

Filter away and anyone with half an IQ will bypass it in seconds....

Today the AFP with the co-operation of other Police Forces have made several arrests against the scum peddling kiddie porn, seems to be working just fine.

Introduce this filtering system and you can say "bye bye" to covert Police detection of offenders as they will go right "underground" using methods and protocols far beyond these filters capabilities.

Also, apart from the fact that this whole idea of trying to "censor" the internet for the (and I'm going to say this!) "WORKING FAMILIES" is the most stupid idea to yet be put forward by the RUDD LABOR GOVERNMENT.

Listen up......

I am a swinging voter. Most of my family and inlaws etc blah blah blah ....vote the same way.

Conroy is turning us into LNP voters...

It is time Kevin Rudd, Kevin 07 or as he is now known, Kevin 747, slapped Conroy about the ears and made him come to his senses and try to make him slightly technologically capable so that perhaps he could find someone with a half a clue that may be able to advise him as to the reality of this situation.

As an Addendum...

If Conroy & Co really feel that their mates who can't handle their own internet connections, due to being technologically inept, really need some sort of filtering because they cannot exercise parental control, then why not set up a Government ISP that will filter all your unfounded nasties? That way all those who are incapable of managing their own internet connections can be spoonfed as to what they see or do not see. Although in all reality, these types should not be allowed to connect to the internet in the first place!

So, moving right along...... Before anyone is allowed to connect to the internet it would be a good idea to test them like for a driver's licence. That way we do not have idiots who are spreading viruses and other malware without having a clue they are even doing it!

Better still use a *nix variant ;-)

You want a profitable digital age?

Forget filtering and keep morons who do not have a clue how the internet works from accessing the same.

End of rant.
