Considering this is the last post, I would like to draw your attention (again) Stephen to this: “Despite an $84.8 million government program and $15.5 million in advertising, only about two per cent of households with dependent children are using a [PC] filter,” If only 2% are using it then that suggests to me that families/people do not want filtering and/or use other products and/or simply monitor their children's internet activity. “Unfortunately, many parents do not have the technical skills or knowledge to install and manage PC-level filters. ISP-level filtering could provide important protection for those families with limited technical expertise.” This is an INSULT to many working families that voted you into government. Of course not everybody is an IT Consultant, but many more people than I think you realise know their way around a computer these days. Education is the key here, not enforcing unworkable technology on the total population of Australia because it works well with the sound bite "We have to think of the children"
