Default Australian internet filter

The current and new labor goverment is trying to implement a mandatory filter over our internet at the isp level aka the great fire wall of china.

Need to take action now, because once the technology is in place who knows what will suddenly disappear from our internet.
as usual the 'save the children excuse' is being thrown around with the governments own tests showing an 80% drop in internet speeds.

there will be a choice between two black lists, one 'safe' for children and one that blocks out illegal material and god knows what else.
of course it will never actually accomplish its main goal as children are far too clever. But likely just end up as a mainstream censorship tool.
