99.999% of all internet users won't be affected by this. if you are among the miniscule minority who is affected, then you can go ahead and cry, but i doubt you'll get much sympathy from anyone.

Well I heard that the whole thing is going to slow down our internet immensely, which is why everyone is up in arms about it. And this really sucks because Australia's internet is already crap how it is.
I just don't see the point to it, it's basically impossible to access child pornography anyway unless you actually go searching for it... as soon as censorship is given the green light it just seems as though they have the power to control what we see... who knows how expansive the censorship will get with time?
