Ultimately about the only people blocked by the filter will be the same woefully technically inept group that think the &75M will achieve anything in the first place. Both the kids and the apparent plague of paedophiles will have no problems in bypassing what will be seen as little more than a minor inconvenience.

Meanwhile the rest of us have to put up with all the extra nonsense generated by the great wall oops.. filter of China oops again ... Australia. About the only function which it will be of any use for is filtering vocal opposition to the reining gubbermint of the day.

No, they'll do a completely inept, worthless job.

And, according to their budget papers, it'll cost about $75m.
