See filtering is already happening!

Seriously; I'll see if it can be found on youtube. The attack only happened this morning so may take a few hours to get uploaded.

EDIT: Not the original but related: Gives a good rundown on what the Government over here is proposing and what is on the blacklist.

And there goes your liberty. Next thing will be critical bloggers and then political opponents. If you allow your government to decide what you are allowed to watch and what not you have already lost your liberty. Why is EVERYONE censored if it is only to protect children? Why don't you as an adult have the right to say I don't want to be censored and I'm older than 18 I can watch all the weird stuff I like (except if it is criminal contend like child porn, rape etc.). Why not developing a single browser that will be censored that you can install on you machine that your kid is using while the one that is only used by you has a normal one without the censorship?
Who are your politicians to decide what you are allowed to watch and what not?

Obviously the Australian government is near China politically as well as geographically.

I don't get government doing the job that the parents should be doing.

It's exactly like television programming.

If you don't like the show don't watch it. And if you don't want you kids tuning to a show - block the show/channel etc.

Same with the internet - if you give your children unmonitored internet access it's easy to just block the entire internet and allow access to only a few sites that you know are child friendly.

This should NOT be a government responsibility - it's a parent or guardian's responsibility.

The more responsibility we give to the government the more we lose our freedoms.

You might not want to say that to her face. Could be hazardous to your health.

That's exactly the sort of thing KRudd and Conjob wants to stop you from seeing.
