I have read that a number of Australia's ISPs have said that the internet filter will not work. Telstra have refused to be involved in the tests and iiNet have agreed to be involved simply to prove to the Government that it will not work. Where is Senator Conroy getting his advice from? Or does the Government know that it will not work but are going though the motions so that they can say to the fundamentalist Christians that they tried? In this political process how much of our money will be wasted? How much attention will this filter project receive at the expensive of worthwhile projects like faster broadband and better communications in rural areas?
