[AusNOG] Oh this is a good laugh.

It all makes sense, if you want data retention then you don't want to start filling your harddrives with crap from 0wn3d computers nor do you want people to pretend it was a trojan'ed computer that was trying to look at something on the "I can't believe it's only RC" filter list.

You certainly don't want the government enforcing this kind of stuff, especially when they're busy doing important things like worrying about who to tax next, so it's natural you'd want people to direct their anger to the ISPs who fall naturally into place.

Remind me, we're talking about this crap again, what's really happening while we're being distracted with st00pidity?

Australians would be unable to access the internet without having anti-virus and firewall programs installed and a virus-free machine under a new plan put forward by a year-long parliamentary cyber-crime inquiry.

A prominent cyber-security consultant, Alastair MacGibbon, who is a former director of the AFP's Australian High Tech Crime Centre and eBay's former security chief, has called for the proposal to be taken a step further by forcing ISPs to actively monitor the security of users' machines and block them from connecting if their browser, security and operating system software is not up to standards.

-Sigh-

Great, now we’re the babysitters for the nanny states, too.
