I'm glad that the Government wants to improve consultation with the public. That said, I also wish to join the many Australians who have have voiced their opposition to Senator Conroy's Internet censorship plans here. The technical limitations are staggering, but even more fundamentally, I do not believe the Government should be able to dictate what Australians can and cannot see, hear and read, on the Internet or otherwise.
Parents who want to filter their children's Internet connections can already do so by installing a client-side filter or by using a content-filtered ISP such as Webshield; there is no need to impose a draconian censorship regime on the entire population. I am appalled that the Government would even consider such an undemocratic policy, and if you are serious about online consultation, I urge you to acknowledge the overwhelmingly negative response by dropping it immediately.
