Didn't I say it!  Didn't I!!!!  Didn't I say that the list was 
obtained not by a LEAK or an ILLEGAL and PUNISHABLE act, but in fact 
from the end user FILTERING software itself.  Here's the Wikileaks spiel

Talk about woman's intuition.

OMG I guess the AFP had better prosecute all the Approved Software 
Filter Companies.

(Incidentally Xerox is on the Banned List!)



 From Wikileaks.org:



Most of the sites on the Australian list have no obvious connection 
to child pornography. Some have changed owners while others were 
clearly always about other subjects.

Australian democracy must not be permitted to sleep with this loaded gun.

If Australia's "Senator for Censorship", Steven Conroy, has his way, 
Australia will be the first Western country to have a mandatory 
Internet censorship regime.

When human rights activists push for transparent government and a 
life free from censorship, the retort from developing world 
governments will rightly be "haha... what about Australia?".

The full blacklist follows in hyperlink form. Note that entries 1.52 
and 1.53 are somewhat unusual; while confirmed to be part of the ACMA 
blacklist in censorship software it is possible that these are 
contamination of some sort from another list. It is also possible 
that they are entries previously wrongly excluded from the ACMA 
because they were on another (non-ACMA) list.

Regardless, the complete list is the one that is being used in by the 
censorship software maker, when placed into "adult - unfiltered" (ACMA) mode.
