It's nice to see a government adopting an open forum on policy. It's not nice to see an attempt at dampening the effectiveness of the internet. I liken the policy as a direct attack on the majority to stop the few. It would be akin to putting speed bumps every 10 metres on all major roads in order to prevent speeding. I do not disagree with censorship of the internet - I do however disagree with the method of censorship that has been proposed. All this filter is going to achieve is the removal of responsibility from the persons of this nation, the further degradation of societies values (due to our government taking responsibility for what we should) and the loss of billions of dollars due to business moving overseas and lost productivity of our digital economy. I'll appreciate some productive comments based on my own however I would also appreciate if users left out comments based on religion and other cultist sects.
