The proposed filter was ludicrous and I'm happy to report it has essentially lost all political steam. It appeared primarily as a bargaining tool for the Labour party to work with a number of independents but even those independents have removed support for the proposal now. Last it appeared in the media, it was "delayed indefinitely".

I'm hopeful that the proposed filter is history, thanks in part to a number of ISPs supporting the cause and loud community support.

What is worrying for Woz is that the National Broadband Network (NBN) will likely be axed if the current party (Labour) falls in the coming election. Compared to his situation in California however, where he says no political party is interested in broadband internet, at least the opposition have a broadband plan (even if it's substantially less ambitious and possibly ill conceived).

Either way, I'd be happy to buy Woz a beer if he ever comes over to Sydney :)
