Internet filtering to become mandatory for all Australians

infoworld.com — Australians will be unable to opt-out of the government's pending Internet content filtering scheme, and will instead be placed on a watered-down blacklist, experts say. Under the government's plan, users can switch between two blacklists which block content inappropriate for children, and a separate list which blocks "illegal material".

    GTFO my internet's, no filtering, MY CHOICE Canberra ***** OFF!

    Canberra Australia's political capitol where polies fly from Sydney every day to meet and have lunch, sit in a room and joke at each other while destroying the country slowly from all the ***** rules and policies they produce while each party is full of second rate Lawyers and goons. While the most prominent are usually always corrupt gold digging bitches..(RE: NSW, TAS, WA, VIC....)

    Piss Off Labor, you are a joke of political party with KRudd driving the bus of lip service and no substance. Liberals have an ego in charge with a penchant for anger and loose emotions. Australia needs leaders with an ability to rule for all not just using the poor to prop up the middle class voters while buffing the penis of the big CEO..
  • inactive, on 10/16/2008, -0/+1Sorry for the emotion, pad policies in this country are killing it. Bad water management, "clean coal"? WTF? Centralised Energy, no public transport investment, can't register an electric car. Solar investment is woeful and disgusting particularly for Australia, as mentioned government wants centralized energy over a system where each and every house could support the city without using any more corporations or land. Bastards! Education system SUX! and leaves half of the students stupid and ignored though they are quite clever, just ignored!
