Those that want the content the Government is so keen to censor will still get at it.

I thought we lived in Australia not China, Saudi Arabia or the 25 other nations to do it.
I think that the government is narrow minded and focusing on the wrong things and it wont stop what they are trying to stop it will just drive it underground again, meaning it is harder to catch them.

Just read your story about censorship and I am wondering what it is that your government will be censoring? Why is a Democratic society such as your's being allowed to do this?
Are safeguards in place to insure that the government only censors what it says it will? Who decides what will be censored? Do you yourself agree to the censoring.

Tasmania is a good testing environment because:

a) less infrastructure means less $ spent (and potentially lost if you cock up)
b) I don't know if this is still true, but at one stage Tasmania's population was almost a perfect demographic spread to match the nation at large.

As some examples, KFC trialled combined KFC/A&W stores there, which failed, and the Commonwealth Bank piloted its CommSee CRM in the Tasmanian branches and call centres.

We have to band together to NOT LET INTERNET SENSORSHIP happen. This is our forum, a forum where the truth bubbles to the top.....The effectiveness of their efforts isn't isn't what aorries me, it's the fact that they are doing it at all..... When did we become a communist state? Their about to ruin the best thing that happened in the past 1000 years.

Sounds exactly what someone in the Chinese government would say.

Probably the weirdest sentence is "As set out in the minister’s direction, the trial testing was required to be conducted in Tasmania." - why Tasmania?

I worry when a government says it's going to get fast internet access to so much of the country, then starts projects that will result in slower internet access.

This is such a disgrace that the Australian Government is even toying with the idea of this.

Originally they were selling it as an opt-out service, let's face it you'll definitely end up on an obscure government database for opting out, or whether it'll be an opt-in service.

As an opt-in service I don't actually have a problem with it though.
