Inside joke

Seriously, that would be a typical stupid government thing to do. I mean, I'm sure everyone on this site could get around it, the principle of the thing is just totally wrong.

Quick, vote in someone sensible. Wait a sec, there is no-one sensible to vote for......

ROFL!! I didn't get it until I remembered you are Australian, hehe.
I recall reading somewhere that they intend to simply supply a list of blocked websites, the then legislate that ISPs have to prevent their "customers" from accessing them. This would make ISPs directly responsible for the blocking, so I would expect they'll be doing more than just flashing new firmware onto your modem...
Still, what with that government initiative to provide parental controls a few months back (which was subsequently bypassed a 12 year old high school student) nothing would surprise me.

Ehtyar.
