The Australian election just keeps on getting better and better. I cannot believe Tony Abbott is actually going to win if the polls are to be believed... I get Kevin Rudd messed up, but I think he was honestly trying his best to right his wrongs after recently becoming leader again. The NBN and the fact Labor aren't for a mandatory Internet filter are two good reasons alone to vote for Labor.
I believe this is Abbott letting his Catholic views get in the way of policy. Much like his opinions on gay marriage and abortion align with that of other Catholics, he's a puppet. And even if Kevin was a puppet, at least he went about hiding it a bit better.
In six months or so people will realise they made a mistake voting for LNP but it'll be too late. Filtering will not only be used to filter adult content, it'll be used to block whatever content Abbott and church/parent groups of Australia want banned. It'll also block legitimate content as the test run of a filter a little while ago actually showed.
This is just the beginning. A filter is nothing compared to what Abbott will be capable of doing in his position of power. He is hell-bent on proving a point by rescuing the economy by taking dirty lobbyist money in exchange for a few lax laws and blocked sites here and there.
