Leaked Australian blacklist reveals banned sites - Wikileaks
Very, very interesting read. if this bill gets passed (which I doubt), It could be possible that ADISC could be blocked for all Australians.
Technically, the proposed system will reduce our internet speeds by up to 85%. A leading australian telecommunications company, IINet (I think) have puleld out of the plan, stating that It's deeply flawed, easy to bypass and is much more trouble than it's worth.
Your thoughts? Personally, I think the entire idea is absolutely, totally insane, and will cause a lot of backlash if it gets passed.

"Far from containing just "illegal material" such as child pornography, the list of prohibited websites includes a wealth of legal material such as regular gay and straight porn sites, YouTube links, online poker sites, Wikipedia entries, euthanasia sites and even the sites of a Queensland dentist, a school canteen consultancy and an animal carer."
"It became increasingly clear that the trial was not simply about restricting child pornography or other such illegal material, but a much wider range of issues including what the Government simply describes as 'unwanted material' without an explanation of what that includes."
