That realy sucks man. Also, I am betting that the govt. will be wanting ISPs to use the technology that THEY choose, and not lets ISPs have choice of the tech they use, as that would give the ISP the ability to undermine any more draconian censorship they try to implement in the future. (yes I am being cynical, but given what the government is trying to do, I have every right to be this cynical) @daniel

I work online as a "chat host", and my US based manager has already told me that if Australia goes ahead with this I, and two colleagues, will unfortuantely have to be laid off. My company has a very strict policy of not hiring its hosts from countries employing any kind of mandatory internet filtering technology, due to the degradation they cause in traffic and internet connections. This already includes China, Vietnam and Cuba, and will also include Australia if the mandatory filtering becomes a reality. Nice club to be joining! Good one, Conroy. Believe me I will be complaining loudly, bitterly and very publicly over this if my job is threatened in any way.
