This filter can't go ahead. Not everyone in Australia has children. Isn't it the responsibility of the parents to control what they are looking at on the internet? Anyway, kids stare at screens way too much these days for them to grow up to be healthy balanced adults. They should be outside, or utilising their brains in other ways. I am concerned that the sites the government deem 'inappropriate' will get way out of hand. They will be basically controlling what information we have access to, therefore taking away our freedom, and so we cannot get the whole truth of any matter. Internet speeds in Australia today, are already behind the times. The speed of the internet in the Japanese countryside in the snow covered island of Hokkaido are alot faster than the metropolises of Australia. I SAY NO TO INTERNET CENSORSHIP!
