[AusNOG] Conroy announcement on filtering

[Pinkerton, Eric]

Also a nice example of how this filter might lead to hundreds of Australians having their email accounts hacked, their banking/cc details compromised and or their identities stolen, with little recourse to any compensation given the circumstances.

Perhaps we should approach the Governments advisor on issue and see if

My first guess would be:

Step 1 - Type "open proxy" in google.
Step 2 - copy any open proxy address into browser proxy setting

(of course I am not recommending this, it's just a sub-1-minute example
of how circumvention could happen).
