Australia - Minister conceds users could bypass the government's proposed Internet filter

[it wire] $24M buys the Government an Internet filter which they can install, but cannot stop people bypassing. Senator Conroy says so.

In mid January this year Greens Senator Scott Ludlam asked Senator Conroy a series of "questions on notice." The answers were finally provided yesterday.

Sen. Ludlam has done a fine job of laying out the full range of "points of contention" with the Internet filter proposal and the Minister's replies make it very clear the Department's understanding of the issues is not as strong as Ludlam's.

Sen. Conroy agrees circumvention makes filter pointless
