I think you're all missing the point... it's in the last paragraph or two.
I think 99% of us would be agreed that child porn is bad, and that we should take measures to stop it. Because it is sick wrong and horrible and all.
The problem is that a policy like this is 'throwing the baby out with the bathwater' as they say - the baby in this case being freedom of speech.
The really scary thing - the point of the article - is that today, the Australian government have (however effectively or innefectively) banned child pornography, but tomorrow it could be Wikipedia. or QBN.
It's scary because it's a step towards the kind of Big Brother/1984 vision of the future.
