What the hell has got into Australia in the last few years.
Now we have the railroaded implementation of Labor (right wing christian) Senator Conroy’s Internet filter. In case you have been off the planet for the last month, Conroy is now rolling towards his personal agenda of implementation. Our only hope is that he has to enforce it with a Bill in Parliament.
The filter he proposes is a multiple tier one. The first tier being the mandatory ISP driven automatic filtering of all the web nasties that are illegal under current legislation. The second tier is the the removal of all material that is deemed inappropriate. This effectively makes the internet safe place for children.

I don’t usually get political on this blog. But an issue was been sneaked by the Australia public by the Federal Telecommunications Minister Stephen Conroy. Nice timing new year’s eve, when most people are not media focused.
Today it was reported on the ABC – Conroy announces mandatory internet filters to protect children. This is from the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy.
Senator Conroy says it will be mandatory for all internet service providers to provide clean feeds, or ISP filtering, to houses and schools that are free of pornography and inappropriate material.
