Can we please admit that goverment is about 15 years too slow on internet issues and maybe hire someone ... i dunnol.. with an engineering qualification to be the minister? I have laughed and cried at the attempts of Conroy and Alston et al over the years as they attempt to hide their ignorance while being led by the nose by media interests. This filter is just a last ditch attempt by the TV networks to protect their dead business model from competition by online content providers. The filter will not protect children, it will just make child pornographers harder to catch by moving them onto P2P networks, the child protection thing is a smokescreen, really this is about protecting channels 9,7 and 10.
