AU Gov't Mandatory ISP Filtering / Censorship Plan

On 15 December 2009, the Australian Federal Labor Government announced the third version of their mandatory ISP-level blocking policy/plan, which bears zero resemblance to Labor's November 2007 election policy. The Government plans to mandate that ISPs block adults' access to content on a secret blacklist, compiled by a government agency, that the Government deems unsuitable for adults. However, ISPs will not be required to even offer to block any adults-only material, i.e. X18+ pornography or R18+. Hence, the mandatory ISP blocking system will be utterly useless for a purpose of protecting children online.

Libertus study again:

This research paper contains information about various alarming and sensational, but out-of-date, false and/or misleading 'statistics' concerning the prevalence of 'child pornography' material on Internet Web sites, etc., which appeared in Australian media reports/articles, government agency reports, etc., in 2008 and 2009.

I've put this up before but I don't think it took. If it had this whole thing would be over by now.
