I hope you're right about the web filter debate. I would have said the same thing about the GST, but then there's a big distinction between a PM's personal agenda and a "rogue Labor minister".

"Currently only Michael Atkinson, South Australian Attorney-General opposes the R18 classification introduction and is also blocking the release of a public paper that canvasses the opinion of the Australian public on whether or not an R18 classification should be introduced." Don't really understand the opposition to the GST. It massively simplified the sales tax system in Australia. We're one of the lowest taxing countries in the developed world.
- JacobAldridge 17y agoThanks. My GST comment wasn't a judgement on it, just a policy comparison. If you'd asked me in '98/'99 about whether Howard would get it through, my response would have been something along the lines of "it looks like it will be impossible to pass through parliament". Here's hoping that's where the comparison ends.
