*SMACK* Bad Boy! That was for even contemplating an internet filter and then trying to push forward the idea of a digital economy. What you fail to realise is that when you censor the internet, degrade the internet signal(upto 85%) and tar all people who oppose the internet filter with the same brush by sneakily alluding to them as supporters of child porn you really are doing yourself and the people who put you into your position a great dis service. For us to enjoy the benefits of a digital economy we need to have access to what we want not what our government wants us to look at. I think what really needs to happen her Sen Conroy is we need to get someone into the hot seat who actually knows what even base level filtering is going to do to our 'digital economy' aside from making our internet so slow that it becomes impossible to do business online. If i lost 85% of my signal strength I would be down to almost dial up speeds... What you don't realise is if we cant get high speed access to the internet there is no need to actually do business online as it will all grind to a halt. If we wanted an ignorant ill informed blundering mistake to make this would be it. It isn't about protecting children its about the government telling us what we can and cant have access to and last time i checked the only places that do that are china, iraq, afghanistan, sudan to name just a few. Is that really the company you want to keep? I could have done your job for half the cost and make better informed decisions.
