I'm against child porn...

... but I think that Kevin Rudd's internet filter is a bad bad bad idea.

Nathan and Craig have useful stuff to say. They've convinced me. I've written a letter.

To the Hon. Wayne Swan,
Member for Lilley.

Dear Sir,

I am writing to express my concern over the government's planned internet filter.

While I applaud your desire to protect our children from sexual abuse, I am convinced that the current plan will do little to achieve this. Furthermore, I see our freedom of speech seriously compromised by such a filter. Can I be certain that the filter will be used only to block illegal material or could religious and political content also be restricted? Surely it is dangerous to give such power to a government!

As a long time Labor voter, I am amazed and disturbed at this initiative.

I would appreciate hearing your views on the subject.

Sincerely,

Simone Richardson
Nundah, QLD.
