There is already internet censorship in Australia: http://www.news.com.au/technology/internet-filter/telstra-optus-to-begin-censoring-web-next-month/story-fn5j66db-1226079954138#ixzz1Q1W8lmsl http://www.news.com.au/technology/internet-filter/telstra-op... Even though they say it's voluntary, it's just ISPs adopting it. It's not voluntary for the users. I even quit.
Now the government only has to give subsidies to ISPs that do 'voluntarily block content' with a "$9.8 million scheme". Much like UK's censorship regime.
I'm sorry, it's already happening.
