Filtering by computer fails on judgment

The plan to filter the internet for material refused classification under Australian law is legally flawed. Australia's classification law is not compatible with the Rudd government's proposal, and in fact has its own problems that make it unsuitable as a basis for any internet ''clean feed''.

Publications, movies and computer games ''refused classification'' cover a wide spectrum. They deal with child pornography, explicit sex and extreme violence, and controversial areas such as euthanasia and abortion, which are outlawed in all or part of Australia.

You know who's very quiet through all of this debate? The religious right. They don't need to argue publicly for the filter because Conroy and Rudd have already told them it's going ahead.
