Wendy Carlisle, of the ABC, has an excellent Background Briefing piece on Australia’s Internet filtering controversy. (I’m biased, because I’m interviewed in the piece.) Background Briefing is influential in Australia – probably similar to Frontline or the Jim Lehrer Newshour here in the U.S. – and so this piece could help drive the debate. You can listen to the report on-line or download it. For my take on how filtering alters the role of ISPs, see my write-up here, and for my thoughts on the Australian situation, see my SSRN piece here.
