Cool indeed.

 From the Hansard:
"100% accuracy in censorship was only achievable after the exclusion of 
content on highly popular websites. Patently, 100% accuracy in any 
affair is achievable if all errors are excluded."
...
"EFA asserts that undertaking something for which there is no mandate, 
which cannot achieve its policy aims, costs millions of dollars and 
threatens freedom of expression is not made acceptable by undertaking it 
in addition to acceptable measures. Put simply, EFA cannot be considered 
to be misleading the Australian public by pointing out that bad ideas in 
the company of good ones are still bad ideas."
...
"Each of Senator Conroy's responses to EFA's public statements are 
factually flawed, do not consider the entire matter or do not address 
the EFA statement they purport to respond to "...

Well done!
