Its the same old, we had a great idea but the devil is in the detail. Im not against an "OPT IN" system where say a family may choose to have a clean feed internet connection which would be slower but safer, but the problem is australia is lagging so far behind the rest of the world in internet speeds that to slow standard operation by up to 87% is ridiculous. i can remotly fix most customers pc's in half an hour but this would double my connection time double my bill and lead to a very upset technician who has to wait for the Great firewall of Australia to accept that my remote access is not in breach of said clean feed filters. This will not work it doesnt in china, and it wont here. Those people who want to access this content will. this will in no way prevent child pornography as it is not sourced trought "traditional" internet usage anyway. All it will do is slow down use of general users who have no interest in the content that is blocked and if they did this filter would not stop them The government needs to understand that they are not backing down to the underbelly of society, they have to simply accept that under current constraints it will not work. maybe once we have a superfast national broadband thats at least 30% as effiecent as most of the rest of the world than we could afford an 87% drop in production. but i doubt it. The national broadband network is being built so we can try and catch up to places like norway that have brilliant internet speeds and no nanny government come on Labour, Admit your wrong and move on
