Admirable and gutsy considering your plan for internet filtering put us in the same shoes as many Chinese. This country is a democracy not a comunist state, as an individual id like to maintain my civil rights and the freedom to navigate the internet free of some random totally unqualified polititian over viewing me and deciding what i can and cannot view. The move against child pornography whilst admirable if this was a fairy tale simply does not work. This system will only hinder the legitimate user whilst those seeking to hide or mask their use will find ways around it all. now that we are catching up with the rest of the world with regard to better internet use, connection and availability its mindboggling why and how this decision has been made. Need i remind you feedback so far suggests a minimum reduction in speed by 8% and a maximum crazy off the charts reduction of 83% what??? are you serious. Anyhow i could go on forever about this, as a British citizen and current resident in Australia i find it all rather disgusting and disheartening and yet more proof that the govement is simply to out of touch with the need of its people.
