I would like to express my opposition to the government's proposed internet filter. I think that we should think of sensible solutions to protect our children but this proposed solution also impacts on people who are doing the right thing. I have serious concerns with the impact the filter will have on download speeds. It has taken us years to get to ADSL2+ and now the government wants to implement something that will slow it down. Why is it that the government will spend billions on a FTTN network to give faster internet access to Australians, yet wants to implement something else that will slow it down? I will become a parent for the first time next year. When my child is old enough to use a computer, I believe it is my responsibility to implement relevant filters to protect him/her from online predators NOT the government.
