Everyone should be able to decide what do they want to see/say.

edit: is there any point in filtering paedophile sites? if they found them, they'll probably catch the guys behind them anyway, i find it kinda silly "hey let's block the site and do nothing about it "

totally agree, its good for kids to keep them out of naughty sites but thats all

"Who decides what material is "appropriate" for Australians to see?"
That's the bigges problem in such a policy: there will be one or a couple of guys deciding what you can or cant see, they'll soon start making stupid decisions and everyone will complain but nothing will be done about it

How can Australian police do anything about the child porn website when they are hosted in different countries?

Thats why i won't support the filer, because they havent told us who decides what material is appropriate and which is not.

Also the current government might have good intentions, but a future government might abuse it.

it will start like that, then they will be like "oh that BDSM stuff is pretty bad, lets block that...." then slippery slope time
