[AusNOG] Conroy's net filter still alive and kicking

[James Troy (PageUp/AU/VIC)]

Two things:

Firstly labor only has a minority government, I believe the greens are
against it, the liberals are and im not sure about the independents,
either way they wont get it thru parliament.

Secondly this is the hook/starting point to get ISP's to keep records of
all our traffic on the net. It lays the foundation.

<Friday rant>

For the life of me I cannot understand what is driving this filter
thing. I do not believe in altruistic government implementing stuff
purely for the citizens benefit without additional benefits for the
industry or the govt itself. Textbook examples are:

e-health = a tool to reduce Medicare fraud smart meters = a tool for
power distribution companies to tie your individual tariffs into spot
market (and more) NBN = ?  a war with Telstra? a tool to enable the
Orwellian scale surveillance? Still thinking on this one..

But the filter? Is it pure Christian fundamentalism? Censorship? what?
