Conroy seems to be changing tack a little :No more accusations about opponents’ supporting CP.
But as my posts on whirlpool have indicated, he is digging himself into a hole. I still have several arguments against the filter:

1. The list does contains political content and could be used to limit free speech
2. The filter will have an impact on general internet performance
3. The government cannot achieve its goals with a filter

Now Conroy has come out and publicy lied about the political content on the list: “It is completely untrue that the leaked blacklist contains political content. This is a list which contains sites that promote incest, rape, child pornography and child abuse.”

Nuh-uh,  Conroy. Sites expressing any view on euthenasia or abortion are political in nature and there are sites expressing political views about both on the blacklist. The list absolutely contains political content.

I won’t post links to either the sites I’m talking about or the blacklist, as I don’t want this site to be added too.

However, if you’re curious I’ll give you a hint, if you’re curious, crikey has a recent article about a euthenasia site on the blacklist and wikileaks hosts the leaked ACMA blacklist. That should be enough for an internet-savvy person to verify my information.
