Mr Conroy, what gives you the idea that a half baked, easily circumvented, cumbersome and expensive band aid solution will protect children? My children have been taught about respect, personal responsibility, and a range of other skills relating to their personal safety and the internet. I guarantee you that they are safer un-supervised on the web as it is now, than any average child will be un-supervised on your filtered internet. The reason for this? Too many middle class parents in todays community who think that you bring children up by throwing money and posessions at them. Maybe these 'parents groups' should stop their bleating and inject a bit of personal effort into bringing their kids up instead of relying on schools and government to do it for them. No clean feed!
