Opposition Treasurer, Joe Hockey, has said the Coalition would vote against a mandatory ISP filter if it lost to the Government. The move makes it highly unlikely for the Government to implement the measure.

Independent South Australian senator, Nick Xenophon, has spoken out against the Government’s Internet content filtering plan saying “there are better ways to deal with the problem”.

Who would have thought the government's proposed Internet filtering scheme would bring together so many disparate groups all united in their opposition to mandatory censorship?
