Government to censor the Internet

[SGB]

I wonder if theres anything the big ISPs could say or do to the government to basically say "we're not doing it" ugh!

If filtering is mandated, any ISP that refuses to implement filters after the cut off date to get it implemented will be fined $27,500 per day.

For those that missed Sky News Business this morning:

Internet filter won't work, say critics


And from this evening's episode of "The 7PM Project":

Colin Jacobs – EFA – Australian Internet Filter – The 7pm Project

The problem is that neither Labour nor the Coalition are parties which I can trully get behind and support. Ever since I have been able to vote, I have never wholeheartedly given my vote to either side thinking 'I support what this party stands for' its been mostly about 'Which of these is the lesser evil'.

I am sure that I am not alone when it comes to this.

Well get used to the saying "better the devil you know", because the lesser evils arn't apparent when they don't campaign with these idiotic things. Just look at CPT Bligh. The fantasy (even back then), NBN was probably in your mind when you voted.

And you guys do realise there is already a filter in place right? There is no such thing as a clean feed.

If the Pirate Party doesn't stand in the next election, do what i intend to do. Vote for the Australian sex party, they're claiming the same ideals as the Pirates, such as free speech + plus a fairer classification system for porn, so it's win - win

I'm sure you internet savvy anti-filter guys should be able to figure this one out for yourselves. I mean it's something you're proud to say you are all on top of and in the loop of right?

Anyway, start here:

I still don't know if you're serious about your claim or not. But, there is no filter in place. We do have internet censorship laws in place, but there's no actual technical enforcement of them (no filter will be able to enforce them anyway, the net is too vast and changes too quick for govts to keep up).

Thanks for that link though, however I've been aware of that site for a couple of years.
