latest news on australian Internet filter

Why does my government suck so bad? I can understand blocking child porn, terriorts stuff.

because the people in control of it have no idea about teh internet. these are all 60+ year old people who PAY someone to read their emails for them.

Technically we're going downwards because Australia's in the southern hemisphere.

And we're supposed to be the third best country in the world, shame on you government, shame on you! I don't see Norway throwing away there porn, now do I?

So who exactly is first and second? lol
EDIT: i dont mean anything by that btw

You cant sensor the internet thats mad!

I wasn't joking about that bit actually. Norway and some other nation, finlandationaliion or some crap. Now that I think about it, Australia might be rated second or something but I'm sure Norway has been first for a few years now and Australias been in the to five for quite some time as-well. I don't know who chooses this but it must come down to multiple factors like safety etc.

average life span, crime, percentage of population below the poverty line

Having a welfare system is like a good idea but commuist state style oppression is another.
If people dont have a problem with it then why stop it? Morality is all down to what you believe anyway. Thats why there are so many different cultures in the world.

So why should the government go against the majority of what the people actually want?

I actually like our Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd. He says the worst jokes imageable that make them actually quite funny. However he did promise for some sort of nationwide ultrafast broadband that would see us into the future... can't remember when that'll come...

Broadband tax in the UK is coming so i better get better speeds and service quality.

Yea there doing Tas for a reason first, its small, notmany people so there for cheaper and its the place to test it. Then IF it goes well they will roll it out for the rest of AUS, big cities first (Sydney, Melbourne etc) But for the rest of us in the country areas, we will have to wait, IF it will ever get to us. 10yrs + for country people easy.

 

[MilkyWay]

Its not that bad in Scotland maybe in remote places up north but i live in Glasgow so its decent because its an urban area, you get what you pay for really and unfortunately broadband is expensive to get with tv and phone, just broadband on its own seems to be cheaper.

They have 20mb lines but only in certain areas and its really expensive.

Me personally ive always had shitty connections although i did have AOL at one point *shudders!

You think they'd do the remote areas first because they would obviously have the worse connections and you'd think take the longest to hook up. Then do the big urban areas last.

Maybe its better to do the urban areas first tho because they would be more likely to use it.

See Australia is probly the perfect place to roll out something like that.

Yea that be nice if they would do that, but they will do it were it is MOST needed for businesses and the majority of people that will use it. If they did the rural areas first ill eat my hat.

Yea Bendigo is pretty big place, so you will get it before i do for sure, 5yrs for you maybe? Me on the other hand living NEAR Bathurst it will take alot longer =/

lol yea this is true unless you live in Adelaide? then you might have a chance. Internode lives there

EDIT: You do live in Adelaide, then im sure it wont be terribly much later then the east coast. I bet you still get it before i do =/
