So, from the incredibly smart "Stephen Conroy" who thought of the genious internet filter, comes speed bumps on ALL AUSTRALIAN FREEWAYS! Oh, how it will save the children! I always have to dodge little children playing on the Calder or Hume highway! /sarcasm.

What about our beloved animals? What are they doing to stop the road kills?
Driving back from Orange there was at least 10 kangaroos, 1 lamb, 2 birds and a cat that was left on the road Maybe they should put in some crossings for them too or maybe instead of the Kangaroo signs for next 20km make it a 40 zone

the thing i hate about politicians is when they try to cram their own personal beliefs down our throats instead of what is good for the nation.. "This is what i want.. not what is best for all"

![]() Far out, i think we'd get a real giggle if we saw every proposal that gets thrown around parliament... they probably have dozens of these hair brain ideas dismissed every week.

As it's been stated in previous posts, it's a humorous post outlaying in different terms what the Government's mandatory internet filter will do for the internet.
