Australian “web censorship” scheme “effectively scuttled”

The Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that the widely criticised plan of the Australian Federal Government to have mandatory ISP level filtering of a secret black list of sites has been effectively scuttled

following an independent senator’s decision to join the Greens and Opposition in blocking any legislation required to get the scheme started.

Sadly I don’t think this is the last time we’ll see such efforts here, or elsewhere - the price of freedom after all being eternal vigilance.
