Unfortunately, it's getting to the point where a rebuttal from a technical standpoint is simply being dismissed, and any attempts to express how the policy is a waste of money is being met with:<div><br></div><div>"BUT YOU CAN'T PUT A PRICE ON THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN!"</div>

</div>That means the policy being advanced by DBCDE right now is a<br>
failure to deliver what Conroy has portrayed as an ALP election<br>
promise in 2007.<br>
<br>
The current proposal fails outright to deliver on that new 2010<br>
requirement as well. �Google has identified over a trillion URLs<br>
on the 'net, millions of those would meet the RC definition. �At<br>
last update, Conroy's proposal will "prevent" so-called "accidental"<br>
access to 355 of them, for the princely sum of $44.5m.<br>
