In 2001 people living alone made up a quarter of all Australian households and in 2006 there were also 1.6 million couples without dependant children in the house, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
That means there are over 4 million Australian households without children and this number is growing annually according to the statistics.
Why then is the Rudd Government going to force the internet users among them into a mandatory national filtering scheme which is supposedly aimed at protecting children using Teh Internetz?
Do Kevin Rudd and Stephen Conroy seriously think that bands of feral ankle biters and teen geeks are going on home invasion sprees to access the world wide web in these otherwise childless homes?
