SAVE THE 'NET

How often have you not appreciated what you had till you haven't got it anymore: youth, a full head of hair, mother, teeth, dog, superannuation fund, job, freedom...FREEDOM.

That's freedom, the freedom only last year that we were spruking about.

The Federal Government is planning to force all Australian servers to filter internet traffic and block any material the Government deems ‘inappropriate’. Under the plan, the Government can add any ‘unwanted’ site to a secret blacklist.

Testing has already begun on systems that will slow our internet by up to 87%, make it more expensive, miss the vast majority of inappropriate content and accidentally block up to 1 in 12 legitimate sites. Our children deserve better protection - and that won't be achieved by wasting millions on this deeply flawed system
