    WTF- Australia to spend $189 million on anti-porn tech initiative ?

    Australia's prime minister John Howard and opposition leader Kevin Rudd revealed the Australian government's sweeping new $189 million anti-pornography initiative on Friday at an event hosted by the Australian Christian Lobby. During the presentation, which was broadcast to over 700 Australian churches, Howard discussed Christian values and described the government's latest costly plans for preventing pictures of naked people from clogging The Tubes.

    Approximately $89 million will be used to establish Australia's National Filter Scheme, which will impose burdensome filtering requirements on ISPs and provide Australian citizens with free* access to PC-based Internet filtering software. The filtering systems will leverage the Australian Communications and Media Authority's official Blacklist, which is based on the country's National Classification Scheme. According to a statement issued on Friday by communications minister Helen Coonan, the Australian Communications and Media Authority is also evaluating plans to extend the Blacklist to include "terrorism and cyber-crime sites upon prescription by the Attorney-General."

        I know that is what I was thinking especially when i read " event hosted by the Australian Christian Lobby. During the presentation, which was broadcast to over 700 Australian churches, Howard discussed Christian values ... "

            Election year! load of rubbish ... I posted this on another forum yesterday:

            Its an election year, its just to get the christian vote. May never happen as he possibly won't get back in.

            I still don't understand why there hasn't been a 'kids internet' created by one of the super corporations by now - or oprah!! its so much easier to put all the 'approved' stuff in a section rather than trying to block everything objectionable.

            In the same way they are trying to move porn onto .sex and .xxx why not move all approved kids sites to a .kids domain and then browsers can filter by domain. To register one of these domains you have to go through a screening process from a board of parents & sponsors.

            So if any company markets to children, they have to meet the same standards online as they do in the rest of their business. You take your kids to a playground or a children friendly zone to play ... you wouldn't let them play in dirty streets around brothels, flashers, drug dealers, peddo scum at all so why would we expect 'the internet' is going to be a safe zone for kids?

            Make a domain extension, or an intranet, make it safe, put all the kids in there and protect them properly ... and let us get on with our lives of sin!!

                  I said it in another thread about UK:

                  ANGLO-SAXONS countries are STRONGLY against porn ...

                  Same here in Canada ... Whatever is now accepted in ENGLISH CANADA is because Quebec ( LATIN base ) fought for it ...

                  Before I get flamed, just think about swingers club... Montreal clubs went to Supreme court and won ....
                  I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !

                  But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....

                            if your country is going to spend a 189 million on something to stop porn, dont be surprised if step 2 is go after the pornographers in their country.

                              So - now we have religion blatantly influencing politics in oz. It was a bit more subtle before.

                              Sad day indeed - I am sure my fellow aussies agree.

                                Exactly.. funny how much you see of these pricks when there's an election in sight.

                                All the major ISPs basically laughed at the proposition and called it totally ineffective anyway.

                                  They tried it about 10 years ago, it's actually legislated but impractical to implement on an ISP-wide scale. What makes them think it's going to work now?

                                    I still remember the first time it was proposed, there were strong interlinks with the sale of Telstra. I think it was that Brian Harradine would block the sale unless the libs agreed to put the anti-porn legislation through. It's fucked up how pollies can use something completely irrelevant as leverage to get what they want.

                                            Johnny Howard has his head so far up Bush's ass (jostling for space with Blair) that they've probably sharing synaptic nerves by now

                                                Maybe they could save the country a couple million, and hand out pamphlets that show ppl how to do that in IE. They could maybe drop the pamphlets from a few C130s for effect.

                                                  reading this....

                                                  http://news.com.com/Australias+porn-...3-6202226.html and seeing things like "Unfortunately, no single measure alone can protect children from online harm and, in fact, traditional parenting skills have never been more important."

                                                  ... you know what PISSES ME OFF?

                                                  It's the fact they ALWAYS blend the "security of children from online predators" concept and "porn" or "porn sites" together.

                                                  Can anyone tell me the fucking link between these two issues? THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH A NAKED BODY

                                                    Lol Yep what it means is they're spending $189 million for a group of government guys to sit in a room and look at porn every day for a couple of years.
