WhoaIndeed SGB.
Certainly demonstrates a severe lack of Technical expertise in a number of key areas such as State/Federal Government and the industry's governing bodies.
What the bloke describes in that article is Network Engineering Basics 101 really and for the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy (DBCDE) to say what basically comes down to "No we didn't" displays a violent lack of understanding of how the Marshall R3000 series web monitoring, filtering and reporting package actually works.
Well I tend to think that from the ground up, the Government's proposed Internet Filter is riddled with faults both in design and concept, and the execution? - oh don't get me started on the execution...

Q and A for next week has Scott Ludlum - we might be able to get a few questions on the filter etc in if we send in some not-too-ranty ones.
Gillard: Conroy will get filter into shape
I think Gillard's just guaranteed herself the loss of votes from the 18-35 demographic.
Comment by Mark Newton this morning on Kate Lundy's blog.
A colleague of mine went to the NANOG conference in California last month. He reported that a significant chunk of his time every day was spent batting away queries from American and European delegates who wanted to know what the hell was going on in Australia, and what had happened to make our Government so terrible. The general perception was that Australia had already implemented Conroy’s censorwall, something previously thought too crazy to contemplate.
In contrast, hardly anyone had heard of the NBN.
Our international reputation is trashed. It’d be nice if someone in the Government cared about that.
