Congratulations!
I'm delighted to see this decision. An attempt to filter such material would have been doomed to a costly, ineffective failure, and I'm glad to see the government recognise that and focus on more effective steps like education.
If we're really lucky, this bout of common sense will carry through to the removal of the software patent clause from the Free Trade Agreement.

What absolute rubbish.
It's not about filtering Internet porn from kids ... people looking for this material are hardly likely to buy a filter from their ISP to filter themselves out ... a ridiculous argument.
Between the consumer and the site or newsgroup being accessed, ISPs and carriers are profitting. Carriers have lawful interception obligations and abilities on telephony, why not on Internet / Data?
Carriers / ISPs are 'doing a Kazaa' at the moment ... "Oh, we just supply the road, we don't control how fast people go, what they drive, or whether they are registered or not."
The government MUST do something here. If small ISPs can't afford to filter, they should not be in business. What other business is there that the government says, "oh, it's illegal, but we can't tell them to do anything about it because they will go broke". Organised crime must be thrilled with this precedent!
