Stephen Conroy’s internet filter is successful, 90% of the sites blacklisted will be thus labeled because of their non violent, sexual content.

Currently 1370 URLs are on the blacklist, 674 were blacklisted because they were child pornography or appeared to be. Of the remaining 696: 441 were X18+, 65 were R18+ and 190 were RC which may means that they contained content featuring sexual fantasy or fetish. So leaving out suspected child porn, 506 of 696 blacklisted URLs are blacklisted because of legal sexual content.

This debate has reached such ludicrous heights that the Young Liberals recently proposed that a searchable database of all Australians caught accessing illegal pornography, be established. Bring back Andrew Peacock!
On a positive note, we have seen the death of the US Child Online Protection Act (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-10147171-38.html)which should really have been called the Ban Adult Sexuality Act. We've also seen the end of the US ban on overseas aid for health organisations that provided abortion information or services. Lets hope that these decisions help the Sex Party overturn Conroy’s filtering plans and our own anti-abortion overseas aid policies.
