So why did hundreds of our favourite websites fade to black this Australia Day? It’s apparently the Great Australian Internet Blackout. penberthyd@newsltd.com.au (David Penberthy) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/net-filter-coalition-policy/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/net-filter-coalition-policy/#item2246 Sat, 26 May 2012 20:00:49 +0000 As we expected, there has been considerable online discussion about our announcement to introduce ISP-level filtering. For those who missed it, the Government announced legislation that will require Australian Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to block web pages that under the National Classification System are rated RC (Refused Classification). RC-rated material includes child sex abuse content, bestiality, sexual violence including rape and the detailed instruction of crime or drug use. The Government has always maintained there is no silver-bullet solution to cyber-safety and this new measure is one part of a comprehensive suite to address the range of challenges online. For example, we have funded 91 Australian Federal Police officers to the Child Protection Operations Team, as well as extensive education programs for parents, teachers and children. http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/the-truth-about-net-filtering/ As we expected, there has been considerable online discussion about our announcement to introduce ISP-level filtering.

At that stage it was a trial but on Tuesday this week Minister Conroy announced his intention to proceed with legislation to enact this mad idea. This is a policy that is based on a fraud so much so the Minister could barely explain it with a straight face yesterday. penberthyd@newsltd.com.au (David Penberthy) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/net-filtering-plan-is-a-fraud/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/net-filtering-plan-is-a-fraud/#item2020 Sat, 26 May 2012 20:00:49 +0000 As we expected, there has been considerable online discussion about our announcement to introduce ISP-level filtering.
