A proposed Internet filter dubbed the ”Great Aussie Firewall” is promising to make Australia one of the strictest Internet regulators among democratic countries.
Consumers, civil-rights activists, engineers, Internet providers and politicians from opposition parties are among the critics of a mandatory Internet filter that would block at least 1,300 Web sites prohibited by the government — mostly child pornography, excessive violence, instructions in crime or drug use and advocacy of terrorism.
Hundreds protested in state capitals earlier this month.
”This is obviously censorship,” said Justin Pearson Smith, 29, organizer of protests in Melbourne and an officer of one of a dozen Facebook groups against the filter.

blocking is inevitable
this will happen worldwide… within 10 years… as the Internet becomes more integrated into our lives, governments will treat it like a real “highway” and create the same limitations… oh, yeah, I own a time machine and I’ve see the future… and the winning lottery numbers are 2-16-35-36-41-50, but I can’t tell you when to play them… sorry, time-traveler code of ethics.
Australia is the new China of the West
All you Aussies get freegate, the proxy and be prepared for many blocked sites.
Down with Fascism! protesting does nothing these days but at least your trying.
All part of the NWO agenda.
