I work in the IT industry and know that the filtering you are planning is not only impossible but pointless. Do not introduce this filter as it is a waste of our taxpayers money and only teaches bad parents that they can rely on the government to do their parenting for them. Obviously you are realising that it is impossible too as you were not even able to reach your deadline of Christmas Eve to implement the filter. Or perhaps you don't truly understand the technicalities of a project of this size and expect that the ISPs that you are hoping will trial the filter will be able to just flick a switch and have the filter in place. Perhaps you should look at the root cause of Child Pornography and catch actual criminals rather than assume everyone is guilty and block our internet feeds. The Labor party obviously doesn't want to be in government anymore as they are heading towards a loss next election. Perhaps Mr Conroy should listen to the majority of people who actually understand what is represents rather than those people he can influence with scare tactics of Child Pornography and such who just blindly follow.
