If the Government truly wants to stamp out illegal activity as it suggests, then it should be pouring its efforts into law enforcement and education and encouraging people to be responsible with their children and partake in teaching kids how to decipher information not just taking information away from them. However history shows that this is a recurring practice, like witch hunts and communist scare mongering, from days gone by. It's not that the government can't see that this is a flawed idea, they know its a flawed idea, but that’s not the point, the point is that they count on everyone’s reluctance to be seen defending illegal activity, using a "you're with us or against us" mentality to accomplish what they are actually trying to do, which is further intrude on people and their choices. Once the mechanism is in place to filter information before we know we have lost the choice to examine it then we are in a blindfolded looping pattern of deception. Do not think that this can’t happen to us, that’s an easy mistake to make. This is not the desired behaviour of our Australian government, Don't insult our intelligence, do the job you are paid to do in the manner you are paid to do it, Public servants are called public servants for a reason, they are supposed to serve the public not dictate and railroad them. Show us you sincerity or show us your hypocrisy. But call it what it is. This is my opinion based on the information I have gathered and deciphered throughout my life. Anthony Voevodin
