Although I've know about this for a while, I really didn't think it would come into play considering the the last attempt at filtering Australian school Internet access. A 16 year old hacked the $84million program in under 30 min.<br />

I dare say that jetset is on the mark by referring to it as "<span style="color: Blue">political grandstanding</span>". It would seem a direct kick in b#lls to the past Federal Government responsible for the above $84mil cock up.<br />
<br />
This URL basically wraps it all up and why it's probably going to be hard to implement. <br />

As a side note the New Government made a pledge to give a laptop computer to every secondary school child. So maybe these laptops will be fitted with some type of inbuilt filtering? <br />
<br />
With the recent child porn ring bust here over the past few months, people are strongly pushing the question what the new Federal Government intends to do to combat the issue. <br />

What happened to responsible parental guidance and responsibility?

My personal opinion aligns with yours CM. I know the worlds changed from when we were kids but most parents here allow their kids to run riot. Most kids here rule the parents and the house.<br />
<br />
Oh btw yes I'm not happy with this filtering plan. It lends itself to being manipulated and people's freedom of choice and rights being invaded & or compromised.<br />
<br />
On the bright side though, it will probably all fall apart at the seams. <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/grin.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big Grin :D" data-shortname=":D" /><br />
