This is something that's bothered me about Conroy's department, particularly with regard to the proposed filter. We're told there's to be a "live trial", yet the measures that indicate success aren't publicised. So in effect, we'll end up with "success" regardless of the actual results. This is what happened in the last "trial" -- most independent observers would consider it a failure. It didn't block effectively. It caused performance degradation. Yet Conroy cherry-picked a couple of metrics: one filter was effective (didn't mention it was very slow), one filter was very fast (didn't mention it didn't block effectively). So I'm all for metrics. But can we decide what we consider to be success before we get there please?
