Conroy is quickly becoming the laughing stock of the world. It would be funny to us, except it is so damned serious. My guess is that the trial will fail because of the badly written and thought out EOI, and Conroy will just say that its time to push ahead with installing mandatory filtering. He will justify it with "It just has to be done to protect the children and we are confident that any problems can be dealt with as it is installed. ALL HAIL THE RUDD and HIS PROPHET CLOWNBOY Yea I picked up on the time frame, and its obviously it is designed to obscure the introduction of the filtering without any thought to the timeframes to do what is being asked.

But then, I'm not surprised considering Conroy's previous responses to people who believe that ISP filtering is pointless.

The time frames alone clearly show that Conroy's office is desperate for this whole saga to be over as soon as possible even if the results are utterly meaningless. "Meaningless" being the operative word, as this would be the only way they could claim the filters "work". And >12Mbps is "future technology"! Was this written in 1998? Good article.

I didn't pick up on the time restrictions. It seems incredibly unlikely that a properly function ISP filter can be designed, coded and implemented in time. Even the 6 week trial length is too short for realistic results. Awesome article. I didn’t pick up on the time restrictions.
