No, not really. This topic certainly generates a LOT of comments, yes,  
but Crikey Blogs sometimes gets more than 1000 comments in a few hours  
on (usually) political polling results.

The report is at:
http://www.dbcde.gov.au/funding_and_programs/cybersafety_plan/internet_service_provider_isp_filtering/isp_filtering_live_pilot
or, for people with lame email clients,

I've already done a 10-minute radio interview with 6PR Perth, which  
I've posted at http://stilgherrian.com/politics/talking-australias-new-internet-censorship-policy-on-6pr/ 
  or http://is.gd/5ocTO ... and I'll be writing more for publication  
tomorrow.
