I know! I watched the news on several stations tonight and didn't hear anything about it.
Also... I've heard that this whole censorship/ filter thing is going to slow down the speed of Australia's internet even more, when it is already pretty crap. Ugh. The whole idea is just stupid and pointless.
Trying to change their view is a losing battle though, just like the fight to get R18+ video games in Australia.
And mr dave - yeah, you're completely right. If children are introduced to media and what it can involved at a young age, they can learn how to use the Internet safely and be aware that not everything that appears in the media has merit. Also, most children are a lot smarter than adults give them credit for - a lot of the time they know what is going on and what merit certain pieces of information have.
