If Australia goes down this path, the precedent will be set for other western liberal democracies to follow suit. I would fear even more for freedoms in <a href="http://curly15.wordpress.com/2008/10/31/australia-to-join-elite-censors/" rel="nofollow">"Big Brother" Britain</a>, and elsewhere.

In fact, Canada precedes Australia in "looking into" the issue. In typical Canadian fashion, of course, it take the Canadian government and/or significantly longer to actually DO anything about is intentions. Remember that Canada's alleged "war on child poverty" - declared over three decades ago - has been SO effective that rates of child poverty today are PRECISELY where they were 30 years ago. I have grave concerns about the direction in which Canadian government and its agencies are headed. My concern is tempered by the knowledge that "things Canadian" move more slowly than molasses flows uphill in December.
