  • Oh god I hope the greens don't get the balance of power in the next election. Those environmental extremists have held the labor party to ransom and forced them to put through the massively umpopular carbon tax. Don't be upset with labor, be upset with the greens.

  • he just got up and complained he wouldnt have time to answer all the questions, then didnt answer a single one...

    How is this acceptable? we need more enforcement on who is actually in our government and screen ministers for how much they actually know about the industry or sectir they are going to be the minister for.

  • *stands up*

    Yells: ANSWER THE ***** Question, you...."

    *Gets thrown out*

    It would still be worth someone doing it.

  • So...who will decide? Who?  By what authority?

  • Apparently the tyrannical arsehole filter wasn't working the day Conroy landed this job. Warning! Warning Will Robinson - this guy is the living embodiment of Big Brother. Passionately UGLY traitor to freedom. No wonder that American wants him dead, they understand better than Aussies that you've got to fight for freedom - it isn't a government handout. Fuck him and fuck Labors Christian Right for letting him loose on us.

  • hmm, senator ludlam sounds like someone you can trust, but....i dont know HIS full story either

  • Comment removed

  • Thumbs up if you want Conroy dead.

  • @Virginityrocks I'm an American, and I wan't him dead too.

  • idiot.

  • Two questions: 1) Why are MPs as stupid and arrogant as Conroy allowed to run and 2) can they get rid of the laptops?

  • What about how to vote! What would B the best option in finding out & obtaining monkey see monkey do approach for voting Conroy out and putting proper suits in place who oppose this! I have many people saying how do I vote, who should I vote for regarding this being stopped. Many just want a template approach, sort of like the ones they try to hand U outside the voting balled by different parties! If I can formulate one I can make a jpeg version so people can print & take with them when voting.

  • OK so how does one go about sacking Conroy and having him replaced in the senate? Where can I find information on how to vote properly? I have seen some other videos in youtube that suggests the Liberals may add the filter anyway!

    There was information written by reporter Katharine Murphy that the Government accused Tony Abbot of changing the Collation's stance after having a tete-a-tete with News Limited chief Rupert Murdoch! So again I ask, were can we get info for voting properly on this? thx

  • i want to punch him really hard in the face.

  • he is such a cunt, wtb someone to murder him, i'll pay!

  • Anybody heard about Tor before?

  • this guy is a mjory cunt. i wnat this fuckwitt sacked

  • ANSWER THE FUKCKING QUESTIONS CONRY U FUK HEAD!!!

  • The Australian government has always had its strings pulled by Christians/church groups etc, since the beginning of government in this country, regardless of which 'major' party is currently in power. I'd wager that SOME of the provocation for pushing for this useless filter is because of whisperings from Christian/church groups telling the government how to run the country. This will NOT change until the government start listening to ALL of the public instead of just a select few groups.

  • Ha ha ha I thank the minister for pointing out that I'm a slippery fast talking liar whose really into nanny state power tripping control using the child porn issue. This guy should be working in North Korea or China not in a so called Western Democracy. There are ways of combatting child porn other than politically dangerous BIG BROTHER blanket internet censorship!!. Raw data now! - Raw data now! Raw data now!

  • money better spent elsewhere then this sorry ass filter.

  • AHAHAHA 4:07 "Your on a roll now (sarcastic expression)"

  • Yeah, if I was an Australian I would definitely vote Greens next election.

  • 3mins in and he still doesn't answer the question.....

  • I'm about a minute into his shit, does he actually answer the question? It's not a hard one.

  • Comment removed

  • Stephen Conroy has badly misinterpreted the public sentiment over any Internet filter. I don't know a single person outside the evangelical fringe who supports it. Labor is undermining their own constituency on this issue and i will cost them badly. It will totally fail to stop those it targets (They can circumvent any filter using proxy servers), while infringing on the vast majority of Internet users. Any Internet filter will only serve as an institution of misuse in the long run

  • Comment removed

  • wow 128 million dollars, how many community workers could we hire? about 2844 for a year at $45K a year each. Surely that would reduce unemployment and solve real life issues.

  • FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF­FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

  • LOL. Wow, when he approached the bench, I just laughed. What an egotistical not job. And yes, you can answer all those questions in less then a minute... No, no no no and I have no idea, my idea is to just waste budget and cause nothing but public outrage and diminishing what little respect as a politician I actually have by even attempting to justify such a useless idea.

  • Stephen DERP DERP! Conroy.

    "Senator Conroy, what is your take on this matter ?"

    DERP DERP DERP DERP DERP DERP DERP DERP DERP DERP DERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPP DERPIDDY DERP DOOP.

  • Ludlam should have asked Conroy what 12meg was an abbreviation for. Pretty sure he'd have no fkn clue.

  • @privateryan000 I would have asked the flog bag what URL stood for. Fairly sure he wouldn't know........

  • Filtering does not work. The best filter is your brain. Parents not the government should regulate what your kids should do on the internet. That of course is up to the parents. When parents think they want kids and then that's it, they should forget it. When you let government regulate even the basic thinking, you become a slave to the government. Furthermore, these politicians need to lean one thing. Child pornography is not found on a website like say a regular porn site. Stupid move by gov.

  • HES DOES NOT EVEN ANSWER THE QUESTION! fucking politics, they just beat around the bush and makes lies, FUCK YOU CONROY!

  • Conroy is an embarrassment to Australia. Been hating him ever since I heard of him.

  • "Thanks for the question" "We appreciate open debate" is his way of saying "sorry I lied."

  • Doesn't even try to answer the question at all. What a complete failure.

  • I'm catholic and all but... some people just take religion to far ^_^

    Find child porn in under 30 minutes... kgo.

  • thanks christian fuckwits...thanks so much

  • I reacon the goverment should do a web poll, because that way they get the opions of the people who actually use the internet.

  • Completely pointless. Parents should and can already be protective of what their children can do on the internet and even more than a stupid 1000 URL blacklist. People who view the supposed "inappropriate" material will bypass all this and people who used those websites for legitimate legal purposes will be unable to view them. The list of URLs is complete bullshit and this is completely pointless. I hope you're reading this Conroy, just die and get your ass out of Government.

  • he hatr this asshole. fuck u conroy

  • How do we vote this guy out?

  • "The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people.

    As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation"

    - Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)

  • Senator Ludlam should be prime minister. But then again I'd vote for pauline hanson if she catagorically said no to the filter.

  • lying through his teeth

  • 'One component of his cyber safety plan' and a total waste of money and a crime against civil liberties.

  • Conroy... go fuck... yourself... thankyou

  • Senator Conroy is a fool, he couldn't even answer the question asked, his grasp of the technology is next to nothing and this idiot wants to bring in a national broadband network.

    Senator Conroy and the prime minister are the only things that I find offensive on the internet...

  • Now that i watch it, he never even answered the question. He pretty much stated what he said before, leaving out the statement that they have mandatory filters. Its completely stupid the trials consisted of only 1000 odd urls, a complete waste of money.

  • The religious filter will not work, but we will be doing it ?CON roy and that wanker atkinson should be sacked. cannot vote labor or liberal= religious right wing fucktards = vote GREENS

  • @MyBarry2009 Sacking him wouldn't do anything, sept maybe make a lot of people in the IT community happy. Its a party policy. And I agree, the 2 major parties are pretty much the same now

  • As long as the labor party is controlled by the Christian-right, why wouldn't I just vote liberal?

    I don't vote labor to get fascist pricks like this into office.

    Prediction: A MASSIVE swing to the greens at the next election. Just take a look at what's happened in Tassie.

    Wake the fuck up Rudd, wake the fuck up Labor!

  • @kingazzaman Well, Tony abbot is just as Christian right, if not more. Thats why he is called the mad Monk.

  • @kingazzaman i am unsure if liberal are any more LIBERAL.

    u know how christian they can be too. if any one should be liberal it them. but they are not as they call themselves.

  • Kevin Rudd you will get more voters if you kick this guy to the kurb.. Stephen Conroy needs the sack

  • When Conroy gets criticised for this outlandish scheme, he claims that no one knows enough about it to be able to make a judgment. Funny, since he hasn't exactly been forthcoming with details.

    It's a standard political response in this video, though. By offering information in relation to the question, but not directly answering it, our brains feel satisfied that we've learned something, even if it's not a proper answer.

  • I'm sick and tired of these right wing bastards plaguing an otherwise decent government. Lose Conroy, lose Atkinson, and then maybe we can talk, Labor.

  • Also the fact that this video has less than 11k views is scary. This "attempt to answer the question" is the most jaw dropping thing I've ever seen. More people need to see this so snakes like Conroy can be exposed.

  • Mr Conroy has no regard for freedom of speech or democracy. He wants to see our great nation take a turn towards polcies in Iran and China.

    Get rid of this fuckwit, his policies and this country will be 100,000,000x better off.

    Fuck you Conroy, you must be removed before you destroy freedom of speech in this country

  • This backpedaling moron needs to pack up and get a job in McDonalds where the extent of his idiotic decisions would be unwanted pickles on somebody's cheeseburger.

    I strongly advise people that are opposed to this movement to visit NoCleanFeed and use the information there to send a mailed letter to Conroy with their objections, as I have done. Don't use online petitions or even emails, they don't pay attention to them.

  • What the fuck did i just hear? what did i just fucking HEAR? he didn't even begin to answer the question. Fuck you cuntroy, go filter your opinion out of parliament.

  • Hey look at me! Im senator conroy, let just block a bunch of URLs, that will protects teh childrens. Plan I make very smart.

    What a moron

  • This man is a thug. He has no regard for democracy and seems to be a puppet for the Australian Christian Lobby.

    Quartz brained drone. Fight the power.

  • love how he skips around the answer and swiftly begins discussing irrelevant topics

  • @TimSAksu

    That is just unacceptable. He didn't even answer the question. What the hell was he talking about? He was just explaining the bill. The guy asked why he said that those countries were using internet censoring when they are certainly not mandatory in those countries.

  • @Astrowater i know. that's what i was making fun of. what his doing is completely unacceptable.

  • @TimSAksu

    He is just avoiding the question. My granduncle says "bullshit baffles brains." It is certainly true. I didn't even know what he was talking about after about 20 seconds. His claims are untrue and he didn't want to say that.

  • @Astrowater the moment Senator Ludlam shakes his head, its over.

  • wow way to pre-prepare a response.

  • Conroy's a cunt. Just sayin'

  • @enigk69 he's a nazi, a fascist. if he likes net cencorship so much he should go live in china.

  • This filter will block stuff for children? Is the whole of Australia 8 years old and under? I may be 13 but if parent's want to keep there children safe INSTALL A HOME LEVEL FILTER!

    The internet here is slow and over priced so this filter isn't gonna help with Kevin Rudd's Nation Wide Fast Broadband thing..

  • Sorry, t'was ambiguous

  • So it's irreleveant that this censorship bullshit will ZERO to stop anyone seeking Child Porn on the web? Those who want it can route around this "filter" in minutes.

    Of course, how can a reasonable person dispute such a measure when it STOPS CHILD PORN? (which it doesn't, and all nearly experts agree that it's bullshit)

    Oh and, FUCK YOU for saying that anyone who's against this is a child pornographer

    The internet is the last bastion of free speech and once it's gone, we're fucked!

  • Comment removed

  • He plans to block more than Child porn. He plans to block ebay and other sites that totally irrevelant to child porn. He's also not answering the goddamn question. Which was why is this mandatory and why did you try to believe that other countries had a mandatory block when they don't.

  • Wow... he is so boring and off topic.

  • Answer the questions Conroy.. Jesus Christ.

  • Conroy has such a punchable face.

  • Aparrently some group is attacking the government for this some time soon...

    the 27th I think? or it might be later.

  • We are Anonymous and you can bet the Australian Government can expect us....

  • i want to know when it became 'mandatory' for senators to begin any sentence with 'ahuh ha ha'. For a man in charge of 'lol killing' he's sure using a few.

  • Fuck Kevin Rudd for putting this stupid christian fundamentalist in charge of our communications "oh think of the children"

  • He didn't answer one question... Idiot.

  • He never does. He gives this same speech, everytime he's asked a question.

  • Freedom of speech is now dead in Australia.

  • +100

    Agreed. Conroy should just fuck off back to the UK.

  • does he know the meaning of the word "answer"?

  • Comment removed

  • holy shit, answer the fucking "questee-un" you pillock

  • THE CHINA of the South Pacific, formally known as Australia,

    Not happy with its failed attempts to build a system similar to the Great Firewall of China, the Aussie governmeent has now set its sights on gamers, promising to use its Internet censorship regime to block websites hosting and selling video games that are not suitable for 15 year olds.

    The Aussies are going to blacklist every website in the world that does not conform to its daft game censorship law.

  • Seriously, and now he's planning on filtering online game stores and flash games that are deemed MA15+.

    Seriously, I think he is doing all this because he wants to be seen doing something important. If he wants to do something, he should be getting fibre-optics for everyone instead of wasting his time pissing people off.

  • I agree with what your saying except the govement shouldnt be wasting its time and money on fibre optics its not future proof we should be upgrading to a cable network and high speed national wireless we need to upgrade the countrys main back bones becase with fibre optics sure we will get fast speeds to the ISP but has kevin rudd even thought about isp congestion and the speed of the backbones we need to connect to international servers

  • bringing in this bullshit right-wing cronie filtering and bad press isn't helped by the fact that he's a thoroughly arrogant prick

  • we love you luddy!

  • funny how he says that the objections are 'many and varied' when infact they are many, but not varied...

  • Unfortunately, Filtering will NOT eradicate ANY of that "Illegal content's distribution" because they are not distributed on the internet, but instead file sharing networks which are next to impossible to crack down on.

    The australian internet infrastructure is already poor at best, and Conroy's legislation will cripple it to almost being unusable.

    Someone needs to sack this bloke.

  • i say we stab this guy....

  • Mr Rudd and Senator Conroy would better suited playing a part in the hit movie Southern Comfort .

  • didn't answer a fucking thing

  • Conroy is a liar. Why are people not publicly calling him out on it? It doesn't take much research to tell that Conroy has never been consistent with this policy. In fact, barely any detail about the filtering policy taken to the election has not been changed in some way. The sooner Conroy is out of the job, the better.

  • omfg, agreed. definatly agreed, he is a technological idiot and a noob.

  • Did anyone see this incompetant Labour cunt on SBS? I was always under the impression he was trying to push an agenda he clearly knew nothing about but his appearance on television just proved it beyond a shadow of a doubt. What sort of country are we that would allow worthless oxygen theives like Conroy to hold such positions of power? More to the point, who are the special interest pressure groups that are pulling his strings?

    Your father should have used a tissue Conroy!

  • hahahaha i love how primary school this room is.

    when he asks the question everyone goes.

    'ooooooooooo'

    fuckin lol at this pathetic scum sucker

  • 4:07 ... "You're wrong" .. good job who ever said that.

    SACK CONROY

  • Other unwanted content?! WTF, Unwanted by who?! I?!! I want 4chan and wikileaks!!!

  • Will post a video response..... as soon as Conroy answers the fucking question!

  • yeh whatever conroy - it's your career mate.

  • i am sure this minister has his cronies in industries who are already waiting for their contracts, he dont give a damn abt children, he s just waiting for his spin offs, that is my experience with such ppl,

  • His answer is perfectly clear, this is not about protecting families from porn, it is about controlling the media and putting a dent in whatever free speech we have left. We don't want a great firewall of China here. Give it up Conroy. Nicely spoken Scott.

  • Here here. I am a professional poker player and I was startled to find the sites fulltiltpoker and pokerstars among the list of "undesired" sites.

    If this thing goes down I am out of a job. Will the government be paying me my 220k a year I will be losing out on? I dont think so.

    Fuck censorship. I only hope I live to see the day that the Libertarian Party of Australia take "power".

  • He cant even speak properly, he slurs his words. he's someone who deserves to be in a mental home.

  • He didn't even answer the question.

    Conroy is a spaz.

  • What a Cunt. This isn't China...Australia has no need for censorship. Pricks who try to impose their own moral values on others have no place in parliment. Conroy is probably a religious nut. Bastards.

  • Good onya Scott.

  • This guy is about as thick as...um...hell I don't know! He's too thick to comprehend! He didn't answer one of the questions and just drawled on about how they are "protecting children" and "doing a pilot" none of which answers the questions he was asked by the senator.

  • He's so dense, light bends around him!

    Does that help your thick analogy?

  • Haha, ooooh diffraction, nice one.

  • Haha, and actually I'll go you one better: Conroy is so dense he is quickly approching critical mass, at which point he will implode forming an intellectual black hole, from which light, and rational thought, will be unable to escape!

  • What's funny is most ISPs want nothing to do with this Internet censorship at all.

  • What a cock sucker, politicians are so fucking useless, he completely avoids the fact that he was talking out his arse when he said MANDATORY filtering, while in the countries mentioned the filtering is OPTIONAL.

    Why is our country full of fuckwit politicians? Because it's easy to get a government job. All the smart people are out making money in the private sector.

  • I agree he totally side stepped the question.

  • Politics itself isn't evil in concept. The people and the practice however generally are.

    And Conroy is a blathering idiot.

  • I wouldn't call politics evil: it's simple a word that means 'decision making'. However, I believe what we call politics in Australia hardly makes for rational decision making, and most of the people who are tasked with representing us on various issues (Conroy being a good example), are completely incompetant, and usually have an agenda.

    I'm increasingly dissapointd by the Rudd government, however, the Liberal alternative is even worse. Democrats 2011!

  • Look up the shadow government that runs the Labour party called "The Fabian Society" - They are an international "socialist" collectivist group that use "gradualism" to slowly change democracy into nanny states the likes of Stain and Lenin would be proud of.

    The second "S" in the old commie USSR means "socialist".

    Rudd's been in the news of late talking about a "new world order" and "socialist capitalism ".

    You'd have better luck grafting a pigs rear end onto the front half of an elephant.

  • OHHHHH i hate him soo much hell micheal atkinson looks good compared to this collosal tool

  • Oh thats cool then they don't have any blocks on IM chatting so kids will be just as likely to get picked up and why don't you answer the fucking question your just trying to rid us of the implied constitutional right to freedom of speech.

  • lol freedom of sppech is not in our constitution sadly we should amend it

  • There is already the laws to stop people seeking, obtaining and using child pornography.

    This is simply the fulfilment of Jewish-Zionists wanting to stifle criticism on the New World Order they plan to put in.

  • 1.They may take our lives, but they'll never take our pornography.

    2. From my cold sticky fingers

    3. By "uinwanted" I assume that Conroy refers to sites pointing out what a clueless fuckwit he is.?

  • Thanks for the upload, I'm proud a politician on our side is taking a fight against the plans of conroy and his internet cencorship plans.

  • EAT A DICK CONROY, EAT A DICK

  • Oh God, I think I'm in love with Senator Ludlam =P

  • im not even aussie and i can tell you that conroy is a fascist little cock, when he says he want to filter child porn and i qoute "any other unwanted material" by that he means any information which exposes political corruption, governmental lies, the abuses of the super rich and political elite, and anything else whci may give a contrary view to that beint pushed by the government, in the past fascist states burned the books now in the present they burn your internet. fascism

  • "very long list of questions.."

    In other words, I can't answer the question as I don't know all the facts of my own policy.

  • As usual, typical dodge and dive by political halfwits.

  • Australia voted for Socialism.

    Australia will get Socialism.

  • Who the hell does Senator "Cum Fart" Conroy think he is? I wonder if really believes in what he is trying to do. Maybe a bigger kid told him to do it. Or a smaller weenier one... I mean kRudd sure is friendly with China!

  • What an asshole, he did everything except answer the mans questions. Very simple yet important questions and conroy couldnt even answer them. Reminds me of sarah palin when asked about her opinions on the bush doctrine.

  • Conroy, you are a load that should have been swallowed!!!

  • LOL

  • someone needs a good old fashionde lynching, methinks.

  • This type of proposed censorship should be deemed as an act of war, it is a big fuck you to our freedom and our democracy.

    As tomblah said, sedition is exactly what is required.

  • fucken hate politicians

  • If this plan goes ahead, we need some old-fashioned sedition.

  • Wow. All these comments and no one notices that Senator Ludlum labelled the Government's filtering plan as "dynamic" filtering.  That term is normally reserved for filtering that inspects the material being downoaded to "see" if it is a dirty photo. Yes that really slows a connection.

  • Did anybody else get the mass email from Conroy today?

    It was the most arrogant, ignorant and condescending letter I have ever read in my life. I've gone from angry about this to absolutely fuming.

  • yeah i got one as well!

  • Direct me to a copy of this letter, I want to have a read.

  • I'd like to punch Conroy in the face.

  • Rudd announced at a speech to jewish leaders in melbourne that "his support for Israel is in his DNA". Wonder how many sites that criticise zionists or Israel over their cruelty to Palestinian will be on their censorship list.

  • If someone can organise & orchestrate withholding of payment of internet access from major ISPs plus boycott internet (i will be in it) for a time will show Conroy and the communications duopoly (Optus/Telstra) that it is citizens who will direct the way these things go. Money talks!

  • Thank you for your voice of reason Sen. Ludlam.

  • what a douche. you'd expect our telecommunications minister to have some sort of intellectual fortitude, or at least an understanding of the way networks function. what a joke.

    shame on you conroy. down with your misguided plans

  • 1000 were porn and 9000 were... 'other' ?? I think weve already seen what the filter is for,,,,, Not porn.

  • Conroy was reading from his NEw World order scriptbook.

  • conroy = out of touch dickhead

    the way he utters a little laugh as he steps up to the microphone is patronisingly uncool.

  • as show on the EFA website, a lot of the urls have nothing to do with kiddie porn

  • conroys a dooshbag, down with internet censorship!

  • I am watching question time at this very moment, and i found Senator Conroy is funnier than Bert Newton! Sorry Bert, no disrespect, but he does have tremendous comedic talents.

  • ask a simple question, get an essay...

  • I have a strange feeling someone is gonna balls up to killing Conroy in the most horrific way possible.

  • nz doesnt have filtering systems ,i live there now.

    heyy auzzis have slower broadband then New Zealand.

    anyone wana come and start a revolution to get rid of this current governments regime of terror.We can burn Mr conroy to the stake
