2010 Election Campaign Day 25 - Abbott & Co finally upset Teh Christians
Knew it was only a matter of time before the Oz Opposition led by the very Catholic Tony Abbott upset the other side of the Christian coin during this federal election campaign.
Here is The Australian Christian Lobby hitting back over at Christian Today Australia:
"The Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) described as incomprehensible Joe Hockey's announcement that the Coalition would do away with ISP level filtering of the internet.
"This announcement is incomprehensible on a number of levels", said Mr Wallace. "Firstly to say it doesn't work is to deny the trials that show it does. Secondly to have a system that orders takedown notices for Australian sites carrying Refused Classification (RC) material, but allow it to come in unhindered from overseas sites is simply illogical. And finally to imply that parents rather than the ISPs are best equipped to manage the technology by presumably introducing the discredited Net Nanny system, again simply defies technological reality."
Mr Wallace said the anti-filter proponents have run a well funded scare campaign on the issue, beginning with claims it would slow down the internet by up to 87%, only to be proven it was less than 1/70th of the blink of an eye, and conspiracy theories that saw us all becoming like China and North Korea."
