i dont think australia really needs an internet filtering system to begin with, not to mention the taxpayers will be funding it.. plus it's a flawed filter, and people will just easily bypass it.
the government is also investing a lot of money in a national high speed broadband network, but with the filter in place, it will effectively slow the internet down which then defeats the purpose of the high speed broadband network.
id rather see investment in public transport, and other things australia lacks in compared to a lot of other developed nations.
apart from melbourne, sydney and brisbane have horrible public transport.
