It seems to me that rather than forcing filters which don't work on everyone (via financial penalties in public schools/libraries, like in the US *cough*), they've provided them for people who want them. And they've provided two levels, so if you know you'd somehow mess up setting up the filtering software on your computer, you can ask your ISP to filter your connection. They've provided varying levels of control for people who want to attempt to block varying levels of whatever according to their beliefs or kids' ages. I think that's reasonable. I'm all for adults being able to make that decision for their families, so long as accompanying the software/filtering is notification that it's an imperfect science and may screw up a lot. Now how the hell it cost $84 million... *boggles* I don’t disagree with what the Aussie government is doing, actually, aside from the price tag associated with it.

Now how the hell it cost $84 million… *boggles*

Our filter is pretty dang good, and it's price is better than $84,000,000. It's Free. :-) Yeah, what Kruthy says is right. Our filter is pretty dang good, and it’s price is better than $84,000,000.
