Just How Retarded Are Australians?

A MELBOURNE schoolboy has cracked the Federal Government's new $84 million internet porn filter in minutes.

Tom Wood, 16, said it took him just over 30 minutes to bypass the Government's filter, released on Tuesday.

...

"It's a horrible waste of money," he said.

"They could get a much better filter for a few million dollars made here rather than paying overseas companies for an ineffective one."

...

In response to the Herald Sun's inquiries, the Government added an Australian designed filter, Integard, to the website yesterday, which Tom cracked within 40 minutes.

84 mil, right down the crapper (spinning clockwise). What's really retarded isn't the national porn filter, though:

Family First Senator Steve Fielding, a long-time campaigner for cyber safety, said cracking the software showed the need for compulsory filtering by Internet providers.

"You need both. You need it at the ISP and at the PC level," Senator Fielding said.

"The Government has not listened to common sense and it leaves kids exposed."

Why do you guys hate the internet? IFTC.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It just gets media attention because they're annoying and loud, but it gets swept back under the rug after a week or two.

189 million dollars for an internet scheme (their words) is a bigass rug.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
