If not, that indicates that she isn't commited to banning child pornography, and we should question her values! Also, i see she hasn't said anything about preventing arson!

If the blacklist is supposed to be secret does that mean everytime we try and access a banned site we will get a deceitful "404 Error: This page does not exist" or "Time out Error" message like they do in China? This is how the Chinese government manages to keep its list secret - because you can never quite know for sure if the internet's really busy, if the site is just down at its own end or if you're blocked by the government filter there. Apparently, they even block and then unblock and then re-block sites with totally harmless content for no other reason than just to keep people guessing about what's really blocked and what isn't. I ask this, because if we get a big red screen saying something like "This site is on the ACMA blacklist of banned sites. You are not permitted to access it" then I'm guessing the secret blacklist would not be very secret for very long. Is the government here going to lie to us about the sites we're trying to access like the Chinese government lies to its people when its filter is activated in order to keep the what's being filtered a secret?

Get a grip! I'm happy to see the DBCDE blog's first post has 100+ comments so far, many of them critical of the plan but praising the government for its openness. Let's hope the blog is more than just an overstuffed, never emptied suggestions box. Telsta refusing to get involved shows that they support child pornography? Get a grip!

Just not very much. Now Telstra is on the side of the paedophiles? Textbook straw man, and beneath reporting in a major newspaper I would have thought.
