Supporters of the plan assure that only sites on a (presumably government authored) blacklist will be blocked, and that citizens can opt-out if they wish, but IT experts claim that the plan conflicts with Rudd's pre-election promises to speed up the Antipodean Internet.
"The Rudd Government campaigned on a platform promising to speed up Australians' access to the worlwide web by rolling out broadband around the country," commented Sue Dunlevy of Australian IT, pointing out that the blacklist enlistment of ISPs would have the opposite effect.
The "Clean Feed" plan would greatly strain and hinder Australia's internet performance, specialists opined.
