I am amazed that the government is still going ahead with internet filtering. this system will cripple our current digital economy and the future economy. even at best case scenaros overblocking of 1% is around 20 million websites that are legal which are blocked. if taken the average of 3~5% that is around 60~100 million legal websites blocked. this will impact companies who trade solely online. what is to say the optional filter, becomes optional. i for one am a lot older than 15years old and do not need the government telling me what i can read or not on the web. I also have children too and guess what... i monitor their net access closely, the pc is also in the living area so anyone can see where they are.. the money should be spent on educating people and also funding the afp to actually catch the people. your inferance time and again that those against the filter are for child porn. is down right insulting, i for one am against that rubbish. but having grown up with the internet i have never accidently come accross it and know full well how to kkeep my kids safe.. not to mention your tasmanian trial was overcome by children.. also why are you not testing real basis with real customers... how can you gaurantee my transactions to the bank is safe? you are not disabling the offenders with this proposal but will be enabling them and disableing the police and their ability to catch the criminals.
