For anyone here who thinks the Federal Government cant tell you what to do, heres a small list. Child Support Agency. I rest my case.

If "our" government, people we have put in place to speak for us, enact any sort of internet filtering system, the simple fact is that they will lose office to anyone offering to remove it. Judging by the negative feedback here, as mine is intended to be, the Labor party could kiss goodbye any chance of winning office for the next 30 years over this one topic.

This isnt about filtering to protect children, from my POV its about controlling the populus (orwellian), and if they can make a buck in the process, they will find a way (a fee to opt out sound interesting but it wont improve bandwidth).

As a member of a group on the Child Support Stakeholders Group, I have to tell you that they (the government in power at the time) take our input into the subject matter, such as this blog with internet filtering and then do what their policy writers think is best. Even 524 negative comments out of 524 comments so far 100% negative wont sway their opinion to do whatever the f*** they want.

This blog would be unavailable if the plan goes ahead because it is anti government opinion, you wont be able to access sites like facebook, moblog, myspace etc. because you might see a picture of a child.

I moderate on a web forum that has some very anti government opinion posted to it at times, that site would be blacklisted.

The Family Court of Australia website quite often has the words Child Pornography and child sexual abuse in text content of case descriptions, any indiscriminate filter would blacklist it.

Opt in? Opt out? heres how they sway the populus, sure you can opt out, but that means you support child pornography, terrorism whatever the bean is today. No free citizen of Australia should accept opt out, because accusations could then be laid against you.

They (as above) are conning the populus with this garbage, like global warming (since 1999 global temps on average are dropping) yet we now have a Carbon Polution Reduction Scheme, anti terrorism (when was the last terrorist attack in Australia) NEVER, I mean really....

Now we have Robert McClelland asking us if we all want our own charter of human rights, he should blog like this, but no, he's spending our hard earned touring the country listening to accademics. Just like the Minister for Discrimination did (aptly named) listening to women around teh country. You only have to look at how fathers fare in Family Law or YouTube Ezra Levant to know what a joke any UN based charter will do. And the government will make sure they are immune (they allready do).

The only way to stop this garbage continuing is to write to your MP threatening to never vote for their party again, because that is the only thing that matters to them (bums in seats) at election time.

Otherwise, let the sheeple have their filter
