For a gov that rightly pointed out pre-election the abysmal state of Oz broadband and it's lack of speed, I can't for the life of me see why you'd now turn around and implement something that does exactly the reverse of increasing it's speed. I can only infer that you were lying pre-election when you spoke of bringing in some great broadband infrastructure that would see our net here able to at least be competitive with overseas. To slow it down by anything (let alone 80%) is monumentally stupid and I'd never have thought such an idea could've come from a group of people who gave the impression of intelligence during the election campaign. There's also the fact that you want to censor up to 10,000 sites now, giving little detail as to what they all are.
