"we wonder if it is possible for the main focus of the debate to broaden out to consider issues relating to how the Government blogs and to the digital economy…"

No, it's not possible, because the intelligent people will realise you are trying to divert their attention from the REAL issue (control of their internet).

It's not YOUR internet, by the way, it's OURS.

So far nobody has come up with a good reason why I should pay good money for a second-or-third-rate service (thanks Telstra) to be turned into a fifth-rate service just to spare parents the burden of supervising their own kids.

Please bear in mind we are already paying a higher price for some of the slowest internet service in the developed (free) world. I type as one of the MAJORITY of Australians living in areas without ADSL2.

Please is it possible for governement to address the corporate blackmail where Telstra will only connect ADSL2 to it's own customers?
