Australia becomes Net Nanny State

Congratulations Australia, you've allowed your government to begin controlling the Net, and buying their line that you're just not mature enough to make your own decisions about what you see and hear.

Now back to the nursery with you, it's nap time!

Australia intends to introduce filters which will ban access to websites containing criminal content.

The banned sites will be selected by an independent classification body guided by complaints from the public, said Communications Minister Stephen Conroy.

A seven month trial in conjunction with internet service providers found the technology behind the filter to be 100% effective.

If enough people complain about Kevin Rudd's site will it be banned?
