In our system of government Ministers are not experts in their portfolios, although there are some exceptions. Unfortunately the DBCDE advisors are either not doing their job properly. It is clear that the Senator does not understand the industry he is seeking to regulate. And he is either getting bad advice or is unable to properly understand the advice he is getting. The mandatory isp level content filter will not protect children at all, in fact if the government continues with this policy it will allow harm to continue. The funding allocated for this insane idea should be directed to law enforcement for the online crimes group to help catch the wrong doers. This is far more effective than just sweeping it under the carpet with a "filter". "A stupid man's report of what a clever man says is never accurate because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand." -Bertrand Russell
