Thank you, Labor, for this step forwards in terms of online accessibility and consultation. Unfortunately, when taken along with your widely ridiculed plan to censor Australia's internet, one can only conclude that Labor's election last year has been an enormous leap backwards for IT down under. The industry is against it. The experts are against it. Consumers are against it. International human rights organisations are against it. Even several child welfare organisations are against it. Your own tests show it to be infeasible and wasteful, and it cannot be implemented without taking a sledgehammer to telecommunications technology and freedom of expression online. If your promises of consultation are more than just spin, you will drop this disastrous policy immediately.
