Imposing a compulsary internet filter is an enormous waste of public funds. It seems counter productive to want to improve internet access with plans for a national broadband network and then cripple it with content filtering. As far as the filtering goes, most children, even the younger ones, would easily learn how to circumvent the technology anyway so it serves as little more than an annoyance to the average person. As an adult I should be allowed the freedom to choose for myself what content is appropriate for me and my family and not have such things dictated to me by people who do not necessarly share my morals and values and who might have a political/religious/other interest in regard to what content they don't want me to see. Stop treating us like children and try investing the money on something like the health system will actually help the average Australian.
