Must read editorial on the failure that will be the Great Firewall of China.

Make no mistake, this will be another Labor Bungle.  Although it won’t cause the loss of life the Insulation Affair did, it’s going to cost us far more money is lost productivity and lost opportunity, even before the program costs, which will be huger than huge.

If you think the Global Economy will not be Internet driven (if it isn’t already) in the future, then you’re living in a dream world.  A country without Internet tomorrow will be as competitive as a country without roads was yesterday.  And here’s Kevin Rudd and the crew erecting 10kph speed limit signs.

And to what end?

This will do nothing to combat Child Pornography.

Not one thing.

It’ll be as effective at fighting child porn as throwing out all your silverware, except it sounds more related.
