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.
