Once again, Australians are treated like children by our elected representatives.
We will have no control over what internet sites are filtered out for us by the government.
Once surrendered, freedoms are very hard to regain.
Is anyone actually in favour of this kind of nanny state censorship I wonder?
The more they do to stop the sickoes out there from getting to our kids the better.
Im actually shocked a person would diagree with measures taken to protect children .
If you want ur pr0n get a video lets get rid of the crap from the net our children and our lives .
Who cares if you cant access everything you want , our kids are way more important than you just being able to google whatever you like .
If you are a parent and you're not supervising your children's internet usage or installing filters on the PC they use then you are being negligent as a parent.
How exactly are these laws going to 'protect children'? How are these laws going to 'stop the sickos getting to our kids'?
These laws are not designed to protect children, they are designed to control what information adult Australians are able to access on the internet. IMO this is an unacceptable intrusion upon the freedoms of ordinary Australians. Sadly, cradle to grave socialism has made the Australian populace extraordinarily compliant and the majority will not resist the slow, relentless slide towards complete government control of our lives that this sort of legislation signals the beginning of.
It won't happen suddenly but as the result of incrementalism. Our civil liberties will be chipped away at slowly, piece by piece until one day big brother will control almost every aspect of our lives.
You may relish the idea of living in a society like that, but I don't.
I agree entirely. This first move at censorship, under the guise of protecting our children, will inculcate in the population more acceptance of the power of government over our lives. It doesn't take too many steps of imagination to see a stage where the government will decide what political and sociological information we are allowed to access.It won't happen suddenly but as the result of incrementalism. Our civil liberties will be chipped away at slowly, piece by piece until one day big brother will control almost every aspect of our lives.

Well said but i guess we will just have to agree to disagree.
Sorry to busy with market ,its been a good day
I deliberately like to add random terrorist-associated words to the bottom of my emails or during phone conversations, just to give someone in ASIO a hard time.
PS - bomb, fertiliser, timer, aeroplane, sim-card, chewbacca, yoda, lightsaber...

And the Stupid lemmings like Cruise just don't get it, they don't understand the concept of being free, they want to control everything everyone does, "Just in case", you never know, something bad might happen.Obviosly you havent travelled much??
You should bend over and kiss the ground you live on because there are alot out there that dont even have electricity nevermind the internet.
Your comments are typical of an obnoxius person blind to reality and cant see past his front door.
As parents we protect our children to the best of our ability ,but to say its our responsibility solely is typical of your mind set.
If you saw a child getting bashed or raped would you just walk on by and say im not doing anything its his parents responsibility?
We protect them to the fullest but still the sickoes or sickoee still get to them and your saying thats the parents responsibility?? What world are you living in??
As i said previously the more we can do ALL OFF US to protect our families is way more important than any internet
I Agree 100%, this is how every government takes more control, "Its for your own good" they say, Really? I cant look after myself and family, the Government knows better?
Your the Ignorant one who's blind to the reality of the situation, What StockGuru is saying is that this measure will do NOTHING to protect children, absolutely nothing! All it will do is once again limit the freedoms of every single person in Australia, because of some Do-Gooder fanciful scheme that ,while maybe good in theory, never actually accomplishes anything. Unfortunately it sounds like we do live in a country of blind, ignorant, cradle to grave Socialistic, "Im not ready to take responsibility for my own actions" losers.
Im sorry Cruise, but if you aren't a good enough parent to limit what your kids are exposed to then that is no one but your fault.
Im sick of people saying we have to live in a cotton wool society because a small, very small, minority of people don't do the right thing.
Dont be sorry discussion is a very important part of a forum to talk about the issues and its good to hear the negative and posative sides whether you agree or disagree.
If ever i have children i will let you know how i go looking after them but until then i will stick to making money
Guess its just like the jurdiciary system some of the crimes people get away with i would be quite happy to be the executioner and pull the switch but because we live in your so called cotton wool society we allow these dip****s to walk the streets and prey on our kids, and its because of people like you yelling dont take away a persons liberty that they are able to freely walk the streets.
Governments need to get tough on these morons and if it means taking away your internet who cares we survived without it 15 years ago and mind you our lives were more active then too .
