There is no such thing as an effective filter. If there was a filter that would filter child porn and ONLY child porn - guaranteed, and would not slow internet speeds at all, AND filtered child porn on p2p and vpn then I would be for it, but the fact is that no filter currently will do this and...

i have wanted to positive rep you for a couple of weeks, but despite repping others it keeps saying that i need to spread rep around more.

Thanks for that. What uni are you at? It sounds similar to Macquarie. The reason I asked is that I pick up some Macquarie books and it says HSC English AND Maths for secondary teaching, but in others it says nothing at all about Maths. But I conclude that unless you're planning on teaching...

I'm thinking of possibly doing secondary school teaching, so that would mean a BA/DipEd and I'm thinking of doing it at Macquarie and doing History and possibly either Geography or Society and Culture. I've read that you need to have done band 4 in English in the HSC. But I've heard different...

I think this is pretty obvious, Lauchlan, that it is a policy of the Labour Government, which has been put under the rug for now. Because they know it's not a popular policy, and they want to win the election. Get your facts straight.

Where to start? lol. Russia is always fascinating, so is India. I wish we would study Inidian history, it's pretty interesting. But you're not allowed to do stuff that you study in the HSC course. If you're going to do an American president, don't do JFK, as he is studied in the prelim course...

Very true. This is VERY worrying. Rudd is not getting my vote this election, that's for sure.

CoD, obviously.

Wouldn't surprise me. I mod at another forum and we get heaps of spam and porn from Russia, some of it CP as well.

+1 Abbott doesn't have the policy, Rudd doesn't have the delivery. "other"

+10 to both. Was reading an article on the SMH this morning. Apparantly there's a few focus groups going - mostly parents. The parents - and any normal person - want the child porn outta here. But the question is HOW? Not with this filter, that's for sure. Anyway, apparnatly with these focus...

Omar-Comin, I would promote an attempt to weed out chld porn - but ONLY child porn. The problem with this filter is that it will block more than child porn. The technicals of this filter are also not promising. I would advise you to try and get a copy of the 4 Corners program that aired on the...

Aha! I checked and I think an ANZAC one was deleted as I can't find it. Makes sense, it was a more than usual psycho thread. Thanks :) I wouldn't be surprised ;) :D

Last time I checked (a few days ago) my post count was around 120. I come here today and it's in the low 90's. What happened? Did like 30 of my posts get deleted, or what?

Anyone watch 4 Corners and Q&A last night about this? Pretty good. Hopefully it will make more people aware of this.

Watching Q&A last night (whoa...that's another story!) and what is coming up next week, two of the panelists are of interest: Kaiser Kuo - Beijing-based columnist, who is pro the filter Brett Solomon - Executive Director of Accessnow.org, who is obviously opposed to the filter. This should...

Probably not, as the filter will be so ineffective. But you never know. It's probably going to do a lousy job of doing what it's supposed to do but excel in doing what it's not supposed to do. Fail.

I have a regular casual job which is a few hours a week that is very flexible. I also do some freelance website design. I'd say go for the casual job as it doesn't take up too much time, gives you some money so you've got some already when you leave school, and it also gives you some time off...

I'm not really a fan of Abbott to be honest, but he'll win some respect for me if he is against this. This will be an interesting election, especially if the government goes to it with the net censorship plan.
