How is possible for the government to keep going to on and on about the "ISP

At the least the Howard government's NetAlert filter was technically a good
idea even if the implementation was a little bit under-cooked and
over-advertised.

Did anyone else notice that the tags applied are just the headline broken
into single words? Not sure the "7b" is going to ever show up again...
