Rudd described some opposition to the government's Internet filtering schemes as "stupid debate" about "extreme civil libertarianism" that claims filtering "means the imposition of Soviet Communism a la 1980". He said most people "are sensible folk" who "know where the balance lies", according to Computer World on 1 March 2010.
Is that why the Australian Senate runs a web filter on all the internet connections it assigns and censored those of senators so that they were unable to read a reputable gay online newspaper - because it was "sensible" to reduce parliamentarian's access to information about a significant voter demographic?
