The ACS is mistaken about who they were quoting. The paper 'Untangling the 
Net' is nothing to do with the Internet Industry Association. The authors 
of the paper are Professor Catharine Lumby-UNSW, Professor Lelia Green-ECU 
and Professor John Hartley-QUT.

It's apparently a response to a government 'consultation' paper which had a 
submission closing date of 12 Feb 2010:

measures

(Btw, the govt's proposed so-called 'transparency' measures make no 
difference to the fact that they plan to require ISPs to 'block' access to 
URLs on a secret blacklist).
