ISP Filtering Update 2009… not going to be any easier for Senator Conjob

It seems that everyone is back from their christmas break and this week has seen the return to calling Labour and Senator Conroy to account.  I do note however that while our Prime Minister is quick to jump down the throat of Samir Hamza ( and so he should) he’s not soo quick as to silence his idiotic choice of Communications Minister when his comments are just as insulting towards the opponents of Internet filtering.

So without further ado here is an update of the latest talk on the filtering… “ehem”… debate

Michael from Somebody think of the children highlights two reports one on Internet Censorship, the other on the actual Dangers of the online environment to children in

And the latest one in from Stilgherrian from behind the Crikey paywall

Which underlines again that this filter is not about protecting children but an ill considered and drawn out political stunt.
