Is an internet filter the same as free speech?

[donnashuggy]

Doesn't sound like it to me, what do others think about this backflip?

Do you have a copy of the poorly worded pdf John? lol

POD, DY is  a history buff, so I suggest using Fortran or Fortran II and compile it for Windows.

PS.

It appears the whole filter idea was published by mistake, so we can all be turned on (again) without any interference!.

Here you go John, worthy of a read - good summary and carry on ignorng my questions (162 to date)

Here's the policy document (PDF). It's a long read (great if you need to get to sleep early tonight), but going by the key points outlined on page one, it's clearly an internet filter, despite later denials. And it's opt-out rather than opt-in.

Malcolm Turnbull said today that  "The policy which was issued today was poorly worded and incorrectly indicated that the Coalition supported an "opt out" system of internet filtering for both mobile and fixed line services. "

However this supposedly "poorly worded" document is long and detailed, not something hastily scrawled on a beer mat and it would surely have been proof-read, checked and approved.

Your questions DY, generally are rhetorical,  nonsensical:  " Is an internet filter the same as free speech?",  or just because it appears that you are not research orientated. However,  genuine questions are treated/answered accordingly, so provide  them or the posts containing them,  ( I do not believe your 162 unanswered questions  for a moment).

Your good summary from Jericho? you mean from:

"Jericho is frequently critical of Australia's conservative Coalition parties, and has been described as "partisan" which is why you might consider he article "good"

I like  this part that he wrote:  "Not a bad effort from the wannabe Government." perhaps his "partisan" views overlooked  that the term should be:  Not a bad effort from the gonnabe Government.

Turnbull taken by surprise explains how the filter will work only to claim a few hours later that it isn't really the policy after all.

Master of spin.

Master of spin and king of back flips.

So Turnbull is now ,no good? I remember numerous posters wishing he was the leader & if he was they might vote for him.
