For all Australians I suggest you read these links and you
may want to then sign the petition! Not a super new issue but the more people sign and write to their local members complaining about this move the better.
From Getup
"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." You can sign the petition here
It seems individual bureaucrats can ban what they like without conferring with the classification board! and they have begun threatening to fine ($11,000 per day) sites that dare to link to banned sites (though the law hasn't even passed yet).
