The last government made free PC-based filters available via the NetAlert program. However, so few people wanted them, that it was costing the taxpayer about $16,000 per installed filter!

Rather than deciding that filtering was a waste of time, they've instead decided to just filter the whole bloody Internet instead. That's what passes for logic in politics some days.
