The national party federal conference a few weeks ago specifically 
instructed their MPs and senators to oppose it.  It was all over the news 
for 24 hours.  I just asked someone to confirm that was the case and the 
person said yes that is correct.

The Liberals had a policy of supplying filter software for families in the 
past and I wouldn't be surprised to see them do it again.

As for the greens they have said they oppose it to, however I wouldn't vote 
for them if they were the only party left. Also a vote for them is a vote 
for labor,  So while we have people saying they want to vote against the 
filter and are going to vote for the greens then they are voting for labor 
which supports the filter.  Odd.
