Bansturbation In Australia: Banning The Internet

Around 1300 websites have been identified by the Australian Communications and Media Authority as unwanted.

The Herald Sun asks:

What’s the best way to control inappropriate web content?

Electronic Frontiers Australia board member Colin Jacobs said his civil liberties group was concerned at what would be deemed “unwanted content”.

Meanwhile, over at the Queensland Art Gallery, drawings by Del Kathryn Barton are open to 18s and over only. Says the Courier Mail:

Barton’s works abound with heroic renditions of penises and vaginas and other strong sexual imagery.

With no hint or irony, Barton adds:

“The gallery needs to cover itself.”

But can you cover the web?
