Thanks you for a comprehensive, informative article. I believe that Senator Conroy is trying to do the right thing, but due to his narrow-mindedness, he is missing the fact that not everyone has the same moral viewpoint as he and his peers. There are so many holes in this filter that it is laughable to even consider implementing it. I cannot understand why this isn't a bigger issue in mainstream media, public affairs programs have to stop talking about diet scams and start doing some actual journalism to inform people about what is actually going on, and how this thing will affect every person with an internet connection. Is there someone who is knowledgable enough and willing to debate Conroy face to face on National Prime-Time TV on this issue? Now that's something I'd love to see.

This is highly informative. This needs to be distributed to mainstream media to increase the awareness of the general public as to what this filter will and will not do. I feel that there is not a big public outcry due to the publics unfortunate ignorance of this issue. I only found this through www.stephen-conroy.com

I am seriously worried that internet filtering will result in the suppression of political freedom.
I do not believe the primary aim of filtering is to filter out pornography.
Children whose parents allow such exposure have always done so with videos, magazines etc.
On the other hand many child pornography rings have been detected through the internet.
