[AusNOG] Australian Censorship program to go ahead - Gillard supports a the great firewall

[Andrew Oskam]

Exactly my thoughts. The filter addresses none of, what I would 
consider, the very pinnacle of issues.

As we all know, pedo's don't just view content, they actively stalk 
children using conventional and known methods (Myspace, Facebook, MSN, ect).

What does the filter do to address this? Nothing.

I know I am repeating what's already been said, but the government just 
simply isn't addressing and currently funding the issue at hand.
