One of Australia's top communications experts says the Government's internet censorship trials were designed to succeed from the outset, presented no new information and are now being used by the Government to further its political agenda

But so far there's no evidence put forward that this will be effective in putting any serious dent in the availability of child pornography on the internet. It is clear that there are very strong political motives behind this.

That 68% of the sites were perfectly legal, but such as online gambling sites indicates more a move to protect state revenue than our children.

Commentators in Australia and overseas have interpreted Senator Conroy's policy as pushing the country towards being like repressive regimes such as China and Iran.

This is being falsely sold to the Australian public as protecting our children, but will do nothing of the sort, but simply impose political correct control of what we view.

This must be stopped at all costs.

I would be surprised if it passes into law. Very surprised.

No wait.

I would not be surprised, Australians want to live in a nanny state. All this extra education we have yet we need mummy more than ever.

Senator Jay Rockefeller is working on a bill to censor the net in the USA.Obama talks the about the need to tackle cyber terrorism.

The reality is that Govts want to censor everything we see and hear.The internet is removing the power of the corporate media and the ABC has over us.This is making western Govts very nervous particularily now when there is overwhelming new evidence that clearly demonstrates that 911 was a false flag event. http://www.ae911truth.org/

Oh dear, what do we have here?
Another political scare campaign and smokescreen, for political gain.

Oh yes, wasn't it the Libs that went maniacally authoritarian about 'whistle blowers'; I seem to remember bogus emails; and Heffernan's disgusting baseless homophobic attack on the then Justice Kirby et al. Now they want us to believe that they are the champions of free speech. Great examples of "when it's in our interests" duplicity to me?
Supported by I'm all right so everyone else should be, we have no responsibility to others, and a conspiracy site citation...to another country's system.

My view? 'show me the facts'!

PS Some journo's popularist spin isn't facts either.

pps "Big Brother" was committed because of pathological, paranoid, delusions of grandeur 24 years ago ('1984'). Maybe, his meds are working (sort of)and he joined the Liberal party.

SM, child porn, horse porn, incest or any of that way out sh@t I think the world can do without. If you have to get off on bent crap, go to your local xxxx shop, and they will accommodate you with all your warped fantasys you questionably need. 100% agree that the Internet is by far, the peoples channel.

This is where the common man or woman can sort out the upper levels bull-dust and hear the voices of freedom.

Truth and all it stands by is the only way mankind will move forward.

Thank what ever god or not for OLO.

The Australians choice.

Actually, this is one of those rare occasions where I agree completely with Shadow Minister. There are many alternatives to this heavyhanded approach which would work a whole lot better.
