Well, that’s one less political party to vote for.
From the Herald Sun: Labor to force porn block
Under the policy, announced by Opposition Leader Kim Beazley today, international websites would be banned by the Australian Communications and Media Authority if they contained graphic sexual or violent material, rated R or higher.
The bans would be maintained by ISPs.[...]
Mr Beazley said all households would be included in the policy unless there was a specific request for access to such material.
I think they cribbed the policy of Alston, who required people to register with the phone company to allow their phones to call phonesex lines. Essentially overnight the whole Australian phone sex industry moved offshore. I guess that didn’t work for the internet so now they’re trying again.
But that’s ok, I’m happy to give money to JJJ.
