Thank you....though I wish the avatars were 150x150 (seeing as there is PLENTY of space for it)
Her smile is what got me ^-^

Its absolutely ridiculous. Its going to cost something like AUD$43 million for this filter, why not put it towards something useful? Like giving rural areas decent internet, improving out health system etc. etc. They're not protecting anyone they're just limiting our already stuffed up internet services. 90% of people don't want it and know its not going to help, the other 10% are ignorant fools, Stephan Conroy is an ignorant fool!
I think most people know that there are no child pornography sites and it is shared over closed networks and chatrooms, so the majority of sites that get blocked will be totally safe websites.
If parents are so worried about what their children do on the internet, don't let them use it without supervision! Limit their time and lock computers so they can't use it when your not home.
Stephan Conroy obviously thinks he's some big hero who's going to save all the children, I've got nothing against saving children, just do it in a way that actually works.

Exactly and I agree. If you are worried about your kid, download K-9 protection. It is free and open source and will filter your child's internet.
Can't say I don't disagree, but America has been sticking their nose in other country's affairs for a very long time, way before you and I were even born. Obama himself I am not too scared of, as he seems to be reasonable. Holder on the other hand, is a guy I do not like at all.

Countries and governments are very afraid of the power the internet has given the ordinary person, we cannot be BS'ted anymore, kept in the dark regarding information, we now know at a touch what is happening in any part of the world and they don't like it.
Allowing any type of filtering can and will lead to information blackout eventually and they are using moral arguments in an underhand way just to get the publics approval.
If allowed it will be a slippery downhill road to big brother.

But it is very restrictive, plus the internet shouldn't be restricted (except for actual illegal stuff, but that should be against the owners and such).
Kevin Rudd is turning Australia into a communist country I just know it.
