This is a one man army, whose soldier is suffering wit some mental disorder. I think there is no need to worry too much. He just want to come into lime light and most probably will put his demands.
Technically freedom of speech is not in Australian Constitution.I doubt any anti-freedom scenarios will turn true. A relatively small thing, Internet filter for child pornography, blew in the government's face so hard already (I don't know a single media that hasn't mentioned this). Imagine something more significant and realistic (blocking Internet websites is not realistic anyway, puts a huge commercial strain on ISPs, it's like putting a 50% tax for being an ISP).
Actually, if you lived in Australia and/or followed the issue at all, you'd realise such a filter is a waste of taxpayers money as it would be rendered ultimately ineffective when faced with the use of open proxys, and the worst part, it will slow internet speeds across the entire country down by approximately 30%, which is the last thing we need as we already rank around 38th on the countries with the most capable and fastest broadband infrastructure.
