[AusNOG] Australian Censorship program to go ahead - Gillard supports a the great firewall

[Andrew Oskam]

The problem is that we all seem to be looking at the filter as though 
it's going to be problematic from Day 1.

For all we know, it might work fine at first - it's the future I'm 
concerned.

The last thing I want is for future governments to get their greasy 
mitts on the filter and bending the filter to their own agendas.

Not to mention, their is yet to be any substantial indication that the 
filter is in some way 'futureproof'. Which I see as a big issue.
