I live on my own, I am an adult. I should be able to look at anything I like on the Internet and make my own decisions. How dare some government minister who has no clue in how the internet works decide what I can and can't look at as an adult and my connection is not used by any children, why should it be filtered?? If I had kids in my home I would do the job as a parent and monitor what my kids looked at using one of the many internet filters available for home use, even Windows Vista and MacOSX Leopard come with filters built in. This is Australia, a free country, not China or Iran! I now know why I always have and will vote Liberal. This is a joke and a policy that was done just to satisfy the Christian minority that want to lay the blame on the internet for their lack of basic parenting... remember on the internet Porn never ever just pops up out of nowhere, you have to be deliberately looking for it. Maybe look else where that if children are looking at porn on the internet then introduce better sex ed in schools so they don't have to learn on their own.
