This is a feasibility and scoping study study for something more sinister. Why is the Labour government telling DSD to spy on Australians? Why do ISP employees go to jail for 5 years when they speak up about the programs going on in their own workplace? Smoke-screen.

Why is the Labour government telling DSD to spy on Australians?

Why do ISP employees go to jail for 5 years when they speak up about the programs going on in their own workplace?

If your like me and curious as to why the government is so damn adamant with going ahead with ISP-level filtering even after it's own feasibility report stated it was not economically or technically viable then I guess you just have to blame Steven Fielding. At the moment the ALP requires Steven Fielding's support to pass bills through the senate. Without this balance of power the coalition and greens senator would block majority of their proposals. For the ALP this decision is a matter of political safety, which makes me think they're going to go for it even if it means fudging reports, bullying ISP's and arguing that we're "saving the children" even though we all know there's no way it can be done!

Chairman Kevin seems too close to China. Though I & most children could get around this filter, with a slower & dearer internet I & probably many others just won't bother with it, which won't be good for the economy or the ISPs. I've heard a lot of 'they've got Filtering in Europe', when a more honest comparison would be China. I would urge everyone to write to lots of pollies & ISPs.
