Message to Stephen (I’m morally and intellectually superior to to Australian internet users) Conroy. We already have laws in place in this country preventing the possession or viewing of child pornography, as well as other materials found objectionable by the vast majority of Australians.
Filtering objectionable web pages will not stop those wishing to view such materials from obtaining them. These individuals are ALREADY committed to breaking the law when they access and view such materials over the internet or elsewhere. Filtering objectionable web pages will not miraculously make these criminals more law-abiding citizens.
Stephen, you are an idiot. Please admit this to yourself, resign from official office, and move to another country (anywhere would be fine) where the internet is already filtered. The Australian people will not miss you.
