I came across this blog post by Andrew Bulhak and became quite alarmed. It seems the ALP (normally on the left side of the right wing) has joined in with more religious-right politics on the issue of Internet censorship in Australia.

If the ALP have their way, all web content labelled “adult” will be summarily blocked from all Australian computers not registered through application. “Adult” content won’t be restricted to just pornography, but to discussions on sex, border art, and could even include sex education content, if not properly checked.

The fact that a major party has put it on the agenda means that the government will consider it too, and Andrew writes that this is already the case.
