color=#0000ff size=2>We are not against the filter
because we want to look at RC material with impunity (contrary
to what Conroy has suggested) - We are against the filter
because amongst other things it's a heap of money that will not be
spent on policing or education, and it will cost far more than Conroy
thinks, It can't stop bad people doing bad things, it will slow
the internet down, it will give future governments tools which will
be difficult not to abuse, it will encourage criminals and
innocent people alike to use tools like TOR, and ultimately make the
polices job harder, It will be used to legitimise censorship in
other nations, it will damage our relationship with the US, The
current scope of 'RC material' is ridiculously wide and vague,
and last but not least becasue this proposed legislation has nothing to do
with stopping bad people doing bad things, and everything to do with
appeasing right wing Christian lobbies with deep pockets who do not understand
that it will ultimately put children at increased
risk. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Ausnog,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I'm quite opposed to the AU government filtering and monitoring my
internet. Instead of just moaning about it though, I thought I would
contribute a bit to this issue of the internet filter. I need some thoughts on
my site here:</DIV>
