One point of error in the article: the proposed filter WILL include filtering of P2P traffic:

To put it simply, any kind of data moving on the internet can be made to look any other kind of data. Porn could be made to look like bible study material, and vice versa. A simple HTTPS connection or VLAN to an outside portal, and there goes your firewall. The Aussie government is wasting their taxpayer dollars in a futile effort to "Do something" for their worried voter base.
2. Children will see all this which the filter aims to block anyway. The whole idea that children should be protected from reality is stupid, they will live in that reality soon enough and need to be prepared. Instead of pretending the problems don't exist teach them how to react.
3. Families who want filters can buy their own, or if the government wants to help them it should develop it's own filter program and then offer it for free to them.

I have a question: why don't the two opposing teams just line up and pray against each other. Let god decide who the winner is. I'm sure the bible must contain some guidelines for determining the winner.
For starters this is months old "News".
The have no intention of actually implementing the filter. The "attempt" is to humour the Australian Christian Lobby that helped the current Government win power.
The current government is "BIG" on discussion groups/ comittees and "very small" on making decisions unless they are extremely popular, which this isn't.
My opinion is that this'll do the rounds of various interested groups, generating lots of income for the participants, over the next few months. A report will be drawn up, Treasury will then look at the report and then it will be deemed too expensive in the current economic climate and the whole issue will evaporate.
here is the a video tahts explain exaclty where this sleppery slope leads
actually with there own plans in writing exposed
