Why don't we spend the millions of dollars on helping our fine boys in blue crack down on this type of activity?<BR>

Julian,<BR>
My main issue is that this is pointless window dressing. It provides a "solution" for http only. It's trivially bypassed (and admitted so in the report). <BR>
<BR>
So, it's not going to stop a child looking a inappropriate content (there's far more than ACMA's list) nor is it going to stop people looking at abhorrent content .<BR>
<BR>
Nor is it going to do anything to stop the actual harm of children.<BR>
<BR>
eg: From the last 24 hours of news coverage.<BR>

So EPIC FAIL award goes Conroy for failing to do anything useful here.<BR>
