Putting in my vote against any form of internet censorship. Doomed to fail anyway you look at it. Filter or no filter, it is still possible to view any website using certain methods, eg: Virtual Private Network, or just set up a hosting account hosted in for example the US, and display any website you want with one line of code in your hosted domain's index file... Rather than introducing more and more laws to restrict the majority, how about this for a novel approach: Catch and punish the minority of the population who do the wrong thing. Why does the majority of the population always have to pay for the mistakes of the minority? If a certain minority does the wrong thing, the answer is not to punish the majority, but punish the minority. There will never be zero people who want to do the wrong thing, and no amount of laws will change this fact. Be a government for the people, not against. If Australia had a government that was truly for the people, what a country this could be, and as a side benefit, how popular would that government be?
