Fast-Internet-in-Australia

We seem to have to opposing and conflicting government policies. Kevin Rudd inspired many voters with his promise of faster internet ... vote for me and you will get a world class internet connection. I know many who voted just on that one promise. We all know that promise is bogged down for months and probably years before even the first trench is dug. And now, we have the 'cleanfeed' policy ... let's slow the internet down with a primitive http filter in a lame attempt to stop child pornography and/or copyright infringement ... anyone who understands the internet knows this won't have any real afffect on these issues. Why didn't Kevin pipe up with this when he was spruiking high speed? Who is going to decide what Aussie adults can and can not access on the internet? I can see it now, "It is our considered opinion that this information should not be accessable to our citizens for the common good." Who will get this job? What will their political and religious pursasion be? Who will check on them? This must be the most ill informed IT policy in World history!! At least we'll be world leaders in something! Now the $billions spent to increase the speed of broadband in Australia will only compensate for the speed-retarding compulsory net-nanny we had to have. Please re-consider your ISP filtering policy, and give us half a chance to be internationally competitive.
