I would urge all who read this blog to, at least, register your opposition to mandatory internet filtering. It is a blatant attempt at unwanted or needed censorship. As an adult I feel that I am quite capable of deciding what is right and wrong for me to look at on the internet. If I, or anyone else, then uses this freedom to break a law of the land then I would expect to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The government of Australia has the means and capability of pursuing any internet law breakers and the imposition of this policy only goes to inconvenience the average Australian who is not a lawbreaker. Senator Conroy, I congratulate you for opening this subject up to discussion, however, I find it interesting that you are using the exact medium to host this discussion as you are trying to censor. Senator and Co, it is not 1984 and you are not my "Big Brother". Please let common sense prevail on this subject and remove any plans to impliment this legislation.
