I am OPPOSSED to the internet filtering scheme proposed by the government. My main issues are as follows: 1) it will slow the speed of all current internet sending dialup users into even slower speeds and killing any benefit there would be for getting higher speed broadbands, internet in australia is already a joke compared to our overseas counterparts. 2) There are ways in which to bypass such software as was demonstrated back when i was at school when they implemented similar software techniques to block students accessing outside sites, yet we would still be able to access them anyway. 3) Countries with similar programs in place are not shining examples for showcasing any kind of benifits, China, Cuba, Korea both North and south, in fact they showcase how its possible to use such tools for limiting free speech.
