what kinda koolaid is the aussie government drinking? Let me try and explain what koolaid they're drinking: I believe the real reason the Australian Government is pushing this plan so hard in spite of massive opposition from industry and the general public is they need support from a couple of minor party/independent senators in order to pass basically any controversial legislation. These senators represent social conservative special interest groups who have strong objections to things like gambling and adult (legal) pornography. In this case, we're talking about the online versions of these things. It has little do to with protecting the children (that's just the cover) or anything else other than good old political manoeuvring. The whole situation is probably not helped by the fact that the current left-wing Australian Government is by and large, about as conservative as you can get and still be called left-wing. But I think it's mainly that they need support from outside their own party if they really want to get anything done.
