I agree Kup, the policy certainly has become some what of a control measure, hence why many websites and other media outlets are likening the filter to that of China's which I believe has absolutely no place in Modern Australia.

Unfortunately, many members of parliament - local, state and federal display a pitiful knowledge level of Modern I.T. and subsequently bare a 60's-70's attitude towards it, "We can use this magic calculator to control the minds of the population" and "Computer games are only played by children between the ages of 3 and 10". It is these neanderthals that are defining the current policy's scope and who are dragging Australian I.T. further and further backward.

Unfortunately we'll have to wait another 10-15 years before anybody who is properly educated in I.T. considers joining politics because at the moment neither the Government nor the Opposition have any clue on what they're doing with the I.T. Sector, though at least the Government is thinking when it comes to the NBN but that is a subject for a different thread.
