Internet punter

I resort to the internet because (unlike crappy free to air television) it gives me the freedom to browse whatever content I like.

I (like 99.999% of Australians) don't browse illegal content and I don't think that slowing the internet for the entire country is justified if it means the .0001 percent of Australians who are pedophiles/fraudsters and whatever else you're trying to crack down on will be "stopped".

As far as I know we are the only country who are unfortunate enough to have download limits and the average Australian ISP already has relatively slow download speeds, so making the internet worse (i.e restricted and even slower) for me and millions of others isn't really fair when whatever villains you're trying to combat will just find other means.

Why don't you allocate the budget for this stupid campaign to something good like caring for the homeless?
