@ReiSilver That's because 'internet bullying' can't be stopped and as long as I identify you as a little bitch it won't. How about observing your child's internet time, as it even mentions in the video?! Mind you I'm not going to tell you to convince you harm yourself like you believe your dumbass children might do, but I do think you are a lazy parent! At the expense of other's research and entertainment no less. Unbelievable!

People need to start writing to the Communications Minister Stephen Conroy ASAP. This filtering scheme has serious implications as presented by the Greens Senator Ludlam to the Senate on 11/11/08.

I'm disappointed that he did not point out that the filter doesn't protect your children from cyber-bullying, it does nothing against the threat of a pedophile talking to kids online and grooming them.

These are the things parents are really worried about and the government is using that fear as a smoke screen to get this filter accepted even though it doesn't actually protect children.

The filter does not meet it's purpose and should have been thrown out long ago.
