[AusNOG] conroy reaffirms commitment to filter

[Curtis Bayne]

Exactly right, but what's the worst that can happen? Government is steamrolling ahead with filtering anyway, so we may as well play the card while we've got the opportunity.

As I mentioned before, this is not a facts-based argument and people will quickly overlook hypocrisy when there is outrage to be had.

You're suggesting that we setup an alternative filtering regime demonstrating that not only is filtering is technically possible while saving the government millions in R&D costs and trials, but also sending the message that we're ok with filtering if the moral argument suits our own interests?
