Australian Labor Party Proposes ISP Level Filter
An anonymous reader writes "The Australian Labor Party (much the same as the Democrats in the US) are claiming they will force ISPs to block violent and pornographic content if elected. From the article: 'Mr Beazley said all households would be included in the policy unless there was a specific request for access to such material. It was "too hard" for many parents to install internet blockers on their computers to prevent offensive material being downloaded.'"
A study just released by the Labor Party shows that 99.9% of the other parties's web site are considered violent, pornographic or both. "So if we block them after we are elected, it won't be censorship, it will be because we need to protect those poor, hapless households", says Mr Weazley, head of the Internet Content Tagging Office at the Labor Party HQ.

There isn't much Australian pr0n to begin with, and none of it is violent Australian pr0n.
Austrailian porn , though, there's quite a bit of, and there's even a tiny bit of violent Australian porn, if you look hard.
I'll go set up my own ISP. With blackjack. And hookers. In fact, forget the ISP and the blackjack.

How would adults contact their ISPs to re-enable the content?
Breathing heavily?
Working the customer service line to get porn reconnected should probably come with a good wage per hour.
Just who defines "violent" or "pornographic" material?
Wise people in government. We would never understand, we're not smart enough.
Well if China has a Great Wall
"protecting" their kids from everything short of bottled water.
You trust that shit? It could be zebra cum -- you just don't know!
That's no way to talk about my wife
There must be 100s of uninteresting gorgeous people arround the world that would classify as porn by your definition then and for some men almost all womem do fit the definition.

Porn is anything you lose interest in after you cum
I don't think the isp has enough employees to implement that kind of filter.
if anything encourages them to go behind your back and hide things from you
"If you block me now, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine..."
It destroys the viewers sex life
Huh?
I teach were unable to browse web pages on group theory, klein bottles, and other topics which I really doubt acted as porn for anyone alive now or throughout history.
Don't knock it until you've tried it. Once you go Klein bottle, you never go back!
And you've got to be kidding... Group theory not being related to pr0n?
"Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives" should be a convenience store, not a government agency.
