@SeekTheTruth: It is clear that you have no idea about what is proposed or how the internet works. You claim that "peer-to-peer and vpn networking will not be blocked, but most families and children do not use these anyway" but the truth is that young people are the biggest users of P2P networks and that P2P traffic accounts for more than half of all internet traffic. You also claim that "No one is being stopped from viewing anything legal" but the proposal clearly calls for both illegal and "unwanted" content to be filtered. Euthanasia discussion sites and gambling sites are already in the firing line and they are NOT illegal. Furthermore, ACMA can add any sites they deem "unwanted" without warning, without trial, without recourse and without notice. If you want filtered content in your home, go ahead! The Government has a free program for you to install. Your family will be safe from the nasties...unless they use P2P of course. But don't force your own morality and values on every Australian citizen or defend this absurd, ineffective and unwarranted policy.
