I'm expecting the filter legislation to be dragged out till after the election then dumped once they win especially if (let's hope) Fielding loses his seat!. I think the only reason it has been dragged out this long is face saving on Conroy's part.
- philk 17y agoI think the only reason it has been dragged out this long is face saving on Conroy's part. I'm not so sure about that. Conroy keeps returning to the filter, whereas if they'd wanted to save face but ditch the policy they'd have just murdered it by committee somewhere.
- hartror 17y agoThey know it is unworkable, they know it is a waste of money so as long as they don't implement it instead of a black mark against them they have the promise of "protecting children". They can then go into the election with it as a plus. This is assuming the average aussie is sucked in by this, I have major sampling bias as I surround myself with techies and left wing nuts so I haven't a clue.
