To wit: Australia moves toward mandatory ISP filtering

What is the 'Clean Feed'?
The Australian Federal Government is pushing forward with a plan to
force Internet Service Providers [ISPs] to censor the Internet for all
Australians. This plan will waste tens of millions of taxpayer dollars
and will not make anyone safer.
Despite being almost universally condemned by the public, ISPs, State
Governments, Media and censorship experts, Communications Minister
Stephen Conroy is determined to force this filter into your home.
The list of material to be banned -- material that has been 'refused
classification' -- includes much more than child sexual abuse
material, from websites about euthanasia to websites that distribute
games not suitable for anyone under 16.
The filter will do almost nothing to prevent the people who are
willfully making, trading, and accessing child sexual abuse material.
