It's official. The Australian government puts Christians in the same category as Satanics...About half of the sites on the list were not related to child porn and included...websites of fringe religions such as satanic sites, fetish sites, Christian sites, the website of a tour operator and even a Queensland dentist.

Fuck the children.Disaster Button said:The fact that its being billed as "PROTEKT THE KIDS! LOL!" really makes me want to kill something, if that even was the case (which it obviously isn't) it'd be pointless, web explorers come with their own maturity ban. And seriously, what kid searches for "beastiality please."
I'm so glad I live in the UK at times like this.
They do. Thats why the censoring happened to begin with. Zing!aruseusx said:Fuck the children.

Seriously, Australia has been known as a country many in the rest of the free world admire and respect, but I can see this changing rapidly.
I highly doubt that Abbott will have it removed or even try. I have a feeling that if this isn't a major reason for the Liberal Party (or any other party) being elected than it will not be removed. No party is going to bring this up as an argument for their election, you can't argue for the availability of child porn and other websites and hope to get elected. While a lot of Internet savvy folks, or even people with a simple understanding of the net, will understand why this plan fails and people that pay attention will see that this is censorship, most people will still be concerned with 'think of the children' or not even be aware of this mess. I foresee the next election concerning itself with Climate Change and Jobs more than anything else.AWC Viper said:also we only have to wait until 2011 for a new PM who will fix this.
im pretty sure the looking after of children is the responsibility of the parents and not the GovernmentFire Daemon said:I highly doubt that Abbott will have it removed or even try.
