Kevin Rudd shows his soft side on Twitter as government insists it isn't in crisis mode
KEVIN Rudd is continuing his charm offensive as senior Gillard Government ministers insist the government is not in crisis.
The former PM, who earlier this week appeared on morning show Sunrise and with a chainsaw helping flood victims in Queensland with their clean-up, today tweeted about the joys of his new granddaughter.
It was accompanied with a picture of a relaxed Mr Rudd reclining on the lounge with his daughter Jessica's new baby, a rattle, and a soft toy.

Warning America from American Thinker :Australia's Green Ideological Disaster
Australia's Green Ideological Disaster
By Sam Fielding
American Thinker
July 19, 2012
Australia is providing a case study in the self-destructive politics of green ideology, when believers of the religion of global warming gain political leverage.
Between 1996 and 2007, John Howard became Australia's second-longest-serving prime minister, with his center-right administration being regarded as the epitome of responsible economic management, overseeing the "good years for Australia." In 2007, Kevin Rudd's left-wing Labor Party gained office, and by 2009, a six-year run of budget surpluses gave way to the largest deficits in modern politics.
A slew of ideologically charged policies followed, including a nationally subsidised home insulation scheme which was unregulated, resulting in millions of wasted funds and even a death due to unqualified installation, and a public education "revolution" to renovate school buildings where the government happily paid exorbitant over-inflated tenders for unnecessary and, in some cases, unwanted refurbishments, blowing over $1 billion. This "revolution" was overseen by Rudd's deputy, Julia Gillard.
With plummeting polls leading into the 2010 election, having been bestowed with the mantle of the worst prime minister in Australia's history, Rudd's leadership was successfully challenged by Gillard. However, Gillard was no shoe-in for prime m,inister, and to counter an effective campaign by the conservatives who warned that another Labor government would mean an unpopular carbon emissions tax, Gillard declared that "there will be no carbon tax under the government I lead."
The election was even tighter than predicted and resulted in the first hung parliament since 1940. To secure power, Gillard chose to cut a deal with three independents and a lone Greens member of parliament. Despite her declaration to the contrary, Gillard was now over a (green) barrel and was forced to renege on her commitment not to introduce a carbon tax in order to honor her agreement with the Greens, whose agenda not surprisingly included a carbon tax. It's taken Gillard two years to implement the controversial tax, during which time she has been irreverently referred to as "Ju-liar." Thoughts of staying in power have no doubt helped her withstand such criticism, along with the support of a sympathetic Obama.
During his visit here in November last year, he expressed his support for the tax, saying, "I think that's good for the world ... I actually think, over the long term, it's good for our economies, as well, because it's my strong belief that industries, utilities, individual consumers -- we're all going to have to adapt how we use energy and how we think about carbon."
The tax came into effect at the start of the 2013 financial year, yet after only a few weeks, the vociferous reaction from the Australian public can't be ignored. They are smarting not only from a new controversial tax, but also from a prime minister who expressly said she would not implement it. The foundation of the Labor Party, working-class families, are feverishly adjusting their weekly grocery budgets to account for a policy that many would have never thought possible. Long-term voters of the left are shell-shocked, feeling cheated and abandoned.
Far from serving the working class, a carbon tax is the Trojan Horse of what many view as eco-terrorist environmentalism designed at saving trees -- or worse, generating a warm fuzzy feeling inside -- rather than jobs and a sustainable future.
One would hope that deliberate untruths would be uncommon in Western politics, but outright lying should never be tolerated. There has been much philosophical deliberation about why people lie, but ultimately in politics the issue is whether the electorate is prepared to tolerate such conduct. The polls here suggest a distinct lack of mercy. In the past weeks, reports indicate that the Labor-Greens coalition is under immense pressure, with Labor Party members labeling the Greens as "extremists" and the Greens, ironically honestly, describing Labor as lacking values and standing for nothing.
The relevance of Australia's experience for the U.S. is that it highlights the degree of ideological blindness the left can be prone to. In Australia's 150-seat House of Representatives (the equivalent of Congress), the Greens secured one seat. Notwithstanding the vagaries of the Australian electoral system, that equates to roughly 0.6% of the vote. Simplistically put, by making a deal with the Greens, the incumbent administration has implemented a policy that less than 1% of the electorate voted for.
The Appalling, Union / GetUp funded, Labor / Green Loon, "Independent" Minority Socialist "Co Party " Australian Government
The concern to a modern liberal democracy like Australia is not that minority political parties such as the Greens exist, but that they are offered a place at the table without the consent of the public at large. Obama, as far as I can tell from here, was forced to shelve his plans for a carbon tax because even the Democrats could see the negative economic consequences. Yet Gillard has chosen to somehow live in denial of its affects on the long-term health of the Australian economy, which is beyond me -- but then there are so many truths extreme liberals fail to acknowledge that it's not entirely surprising. Bush had his critics, but at least one knew where he stood. John Howard certainly held his ground on an issue, no matter the reaction of the chattering masses. The danger of the left's liberalism is that it is so focused on popularity that its policies are often extremely short-sighted. Gillard must be struggling to reconcile her short-term desire for power with her integrity.
Reports suggest that Obama is doing his best to "bankrupt" the coal power industry. What should be of concern to U.S. voters is that Obama's energy policy could well be the thin edge of the wedge of increasingly-left-of-center ideology crystalizing into policy. I trust that the events Down Under serve as a timely reminder of what the left is prepared to deny in order to maintain a false ideology.

Australia’s recently appointed ‘Idiot in search of a UN village in residence” former Australian PM Lu Kewen aka. Kevin 07 /Rudd BEDAZZLES the Washington Press Gallery and seduces ? Madame Clinton to visit Australia on the promise of a ‘Good Time”
Kevin Rudd promises Hillary Clinton 'a really good time' in Australia
By Lincoln Archer
Daily Telegraph
September 18, 2010
KEVIN Rudd has promised Hillary Clinton she will have "a really good time" when she visits Australia in November.
Mr Rudd has met with Ms Clinton in Washington DC, where he has begun a week-long visit to the United States including an address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
At a press conference after their talks, Secretary of State Ms Clinton has announced she and US Defence Secretary Robert Gates will come to Australia on November 8 for talks with their counterparts Mr Rudd and Stephen Smith, along with other top representatives.
Lu Kewen aka. Kevin, 07 / Rudd, recently deposed Australian PM, and now Australia’s official “Idiot in search of a UN Village in residence” left, seen here bedazzling the Washington Press Gallery and tempting / teasing ? Madame Clinton with up till now, unspoken delights awaiting her in Australia during her recently announced visit to Australia.
"We intend to make it a really good time," Mr Rudd has said, prompting laughter at the press conference. "Not in the sense that you all think." (please tell us sewer mouth just what “sense”did you think they were “all thinking”? you are a grubby little man Lu Kewen) BAAAAARRRRRRFFFFFF !!!!
Ms Clinton, also laughing, replied: "Oh I'm not so sure about that." Mr Rudd countered: "We're a hospitable people." BAAAAARRRRRRFFFFFF !!!!
Madame Clinton was seen off camera to sit down hold her breast and catch her breath immediately after this press conference concluded, White House Medical staff confirmed that Madame Clinton, although, whilst suffering from a higher than usual pulse rate and hot flushes,there was no reason for concern and later reported that soon after the exiting of the White House building by Lu Kewen aka. Kevin 07 / Rudd Madame Clintons vital signs returned to within the normal range, there was however no explanation as to why she and her Lady “personal assistant” retired to her private rooms for the rest of the afternoon.
It is not known weather
Australia’s “Idiot in search of a UN Village in residence” Lu Kewen aka. Kevin 07 Rudd’s consort / partner, Madame Rein, was travelling with him on this visit to Washington
There was an obvious rapport between Mr Rudd and Ms Clinton at the joint appearance. The pair have worked together for years when Mr Rudd was prime minister and when Ms Clinton was the likely Democratic presidential pick, before the rise of Barack Obama.
She has had to learn how to travel the world stage in her own right while also pushing her boss's message. That is something Mr Rudd now must also grapple with.
But Labor's message in minority government could differ from its campaign themes, according to a report in Fairfax newspapers. Ms Gillard has been reported as saying the hung parliament and the deal with the Independents means some "big picture" items promised in the campaign might be changed.
"Anything associated with climate change is obviously one where we're in a new environment," she has said.
Down under
The November talks will focus on the war in Afghanistan, trade issues and how to handle the relationship with China. Ms Clinton also added climate change as a topic to be tackled.
Mr Rudd has said our relationship with US is vital to our interests and also helps keep Asia stable. "So much of the economic growth that we have seen in East Asia and the Pacific in the last 30 years has come off the back of the strategic stability afforded to the region by the United States presence," he has said.
He has rejected a suggestion that the US should step back from the region to allow more room for China to flex its muscles.
Ms Clinton cancelled a trip to Australia in January so that she could focus on the US response to the Haiti earthquake. She will attend the East Asian Summit regional conference in Vietnam on her way to Australia.
Mr Obama also cancelled an Australian visit twice this year, so that he could focus on passing his health care package through the US Congress. The US ambassador to Australia has said those plans are now back on the agenda, but he could not say when the visit would happen.
Ms Clinton has said Mr Obama will visit next East Asian Summit in Jakarta. That could allow him to head to Australia on the same trip.
So Just what IS Lu Kewen’s idea of a “GOOD time” Lu Kewen aka. Kevin 07 is a much publicized Church going man of strong Religious spirituality and conviction, whilst he has usually been seen on TV news every Sunday Night exiting a Church with Madame Rein on his arm he has said that he could just as easily fall to his knees at a Mosque (should the photo opportunity arise) So Lu Kewen’s Religiosity really depends upon who is looking at any particular time.
The true Character of a man can be best judged by observing how he behaves when he thinks no one is watching him.
So what does Lu Kewen aka. Kevin 07 / Rudd do when he thinks no one is watching him? I know, I know ,what you are thinking “what Lu Kewen aka. Kevin 07 / Rudd does AFTER he goes to whatever Church he feels is best to be filmed walking out of every Sunday, by Australia’s main stream media and the Lefts taxpayer funded ABC / SBS networks is none of Australia’s Business……….

Rudd’s Australia : Australian Labor Party to require ISP’s to keep records of customers web surfing, in the name of “Fresh Thinking” of course
Web snooping policy shrouded in secrecy
SMH
ASHER MOSES
June 17, 2010 - 12:56PM
The federal government is hiding controversial plans to force ISPs to store internet activity of all Australian internet users - regardless of whether they have been suspected of wrongdoing - for law-enforcement agencies to access.
Political opponents and other critics of the scheme have described the draft policy as "alarming" and accused the government of going "on a fishing expedition for as much data on the public as they can get". One ISP executive has described the plan as "a nanny state gone totally insane".
The Attorney-General's Department has been holding consultations with industry about implementing a "data retention regime", similar to that adopted by the European Union after terrorist attacks several years ago.
Reports last week suggested data that ISPs would be required to store included contents of communications such as web browsing history.
Yesterday, a spokesman for Attorney-General Robert McClelland denied web browsing histories would be stored, saying the government was only seeking to identify "parties to a communication", such as senders and receivers of emails and VoIP calls.
However, it is difficult for the public to get a clear picture of the policy because the government has sworn all parties to secrecy.
Peter Coroneos, chief executive of the Internet Industry Association, criticised the government for not being transparent and open with the public about its intentions. Coroneos said he was forbidden by confidentiality agreements from discussing any details of draft proposals he has been provided.
"The decision at this stage to keep the process under wraps is the decision of the government. It's not the decision of the industry," he said in a phone interview.
"We still argue that there be an open and transparent process here."
Greens communications spokesman Scott Ludlam also criticised the lack of transparency, saying in a phone interview he had a researcher investigating the scheme to "try and work out how it fits in to the government's supposed grave concerns and fears about online privacy".
"To me there seems to be some profound contradictions going on there," Senator Ludlam said, adding that the policy "on first glance looks quite alarming".
Communications Minister Stephen Conroy has recently fired barbs at Facebook and Google over privacy failures and their alleged disregard for the sanctity of users' personal information.
Colin Jacobs, spokesman for the online users' lobby group Electronic Frontiers Australia, said the government appeared to be trying to access whatever passes through any ISP in this country, while displaying "no regard whatsoever for our privacy or our civil liberties".
"What has emerged in recent days has been a clear picture of a government on a fishing expedition for as much data on the public as they can get," Jacobs said.
"It's not just a fishing expedition, it's casting a driftnet for the communications of all Australians regardless of whether they have ever been suspected of the slightest wrongdoing.
"Combined with the censorship policy, a pretty unhappy picture is emerging of this government's attitude towards our digital lives."
Some commentators have said the copyright lobby would inevitably try to use the scheme to hunt down and prosecute illegal file sharers, but Sabiene Heindl, head of the music industry's anti-piracy arm, Music Industry Piracy Investigations, said: "We have no present intention to do that."
McClelland's spokesman defended the lack of transparency, saying the government had consulted broadly with industry about the plan but "it would not be appropriate to disclose policy discussions which are the subject of consultations with the industry".
"These consultations have involved identifying the parties to a communication, where and when that communication is made and the communication's duration," the spokesman said.
"It does not include the content of a communication such as people's conversations or contents of an internet banking session, for example."
It is understood that earlier reports that web browsing history would be included were based on earlier drafts of the policy which stipulated content such as this would be logged and stored. The government appears to have since stepped down on this aspect of the scheme, although nothing is set in stone.
ZDNet.com.au, which originally reported that web browsing history would be logged, has stood by its original report, quoting sources yesterday as saying claims that URL history would not be retained were "not accurate".
"The government has not as yet made any decision in relation to a data retention regime. However, any arrangement will strike the appropriate balance between individual privacy, commercial imperatives and community expectations that unlawful behaviour is investigated and prosecuted," McClelland's spokesman said.
Coroneos, who is able to comment more generally on similar data retention regimes adopted by EU states, said the industry in Australia already had a track record of assisting law-enforcement agencies and questions the need for a "blanket" regime covering the communications of all internet users.
"[Users] have legitimate privacy expectations and assume that their online communications and browsing activities are private unless they've been clearly informed otherwise," he said.
"Secondly, there's a question of whether the harm being being addressed is outweighed by the economic or social burden of the measures proposed. Are we cracking a nut with a sledgehammer here?"
Coroneos also raised concerns about security of the information that will be stored by ISPs and the expected high costs of implementing any scheme, which would inevitably be passed on to end users.
So far there have been no reports of Australian’s been required to REGISTER their details with Book / Newspaper / magazine / DVD/ CD/ sellers There are no reports yet of talk back radio stations been required to keep records of callers and the subject of the calls broadcast by them.
If and when these REGISTRATIONS are added to the list of “necessary protection measures” implemented by the Labor Party,Progressives Leftists and Union Officials will assure Australian’s that like their Internet Filtering program to be introduced in a few months,these measures are all for our own good,as any Progressive Leftist, Union Leader,Labor Party member will tell you,Australia’s “Working Family’s” cannot be trusted to know what is good for them to see read or hear.

THE Federal Government will make internet censorship compulsory for all Australians and could ban controversial websites on euthanasia and anorexia. Australia's level of net censorship will put it in the same league as China, Cuba, Iran and North Korea.
The Government will not let users opt out of the proposed national internet filter. Broadband, Communications and Digital Economy Minister Stephen Conroy said the Government's $44.2 million internet censorship plan would now include two tiers — one level of mandatory filtering for all Australians and an optional level that will provide a "clean feed", censoring adult material. Despite planning to hold "live trials" before the end of the year, Senator Conroy said it was not known what content the mandatory filter would bar, with euthanasia or proanorexia sites on the chopping block. "We are talking about mandatory blocking, where possible, of illegal material," he said.

PM turns his failure into a $1 billion disaster
By Andrew Bolt
The Daily Telegraph
April 14, 2010
KEVIN Rudd spent his first two years in power smashing stuff.
Now, in this election year, he's spending up to $1 billion of your money to fix the damage.
That's right: Rudd is spending at least $1 billion to fix the havoc he's unleashed by handing out free insulation, splurging on overpriced school buildings, relaxing boat people laws, letting in an unsustainable 300,000 people a year - and more.
Oh, I know. You think I'm far too hard on a PM with the air of a particularly methodical Christian dentist. But one disillusioned day you will hear from many who now work with him that how Rudd seems is bizarrely different to how he is.
I don't just mean that this prissy churchgoer is privately a foul-mouthed, arrogant and paranoid control freak, but that many of his brightest ideas swiftly flop.
The truth is his skill at spinning has so far saved Rudd's reputation as a manager.
But check the substance rather than the image and you find he already qualifies as possibly the most incompetent prime minister since World War II.
And, no, I haven't forgotten Whitlam.
Take Monday's announcement that his Government will spend another $14 million on a taskforce to tackle the massive rorting of its $16.2 billion school stimulus scheme.
This so-called "Building the Education Revolution" spendathon was always destined to be a colossal waste.
But even I couldn't predict the rorting.
In NSW builders have charged $800,000 a time for more than 40 covered outdoor learning areas which state government costings say should have cost $250,000 each.
In Victoria, even a dying school with just two children was given $150,000, and from everywhere came complaints that BER developers were charging "management fees" of up to 21 per cent.
That's all your money, folks. Blown in what some now call the Builders' Early Retirement fund. Now the Government is spending even more of your money - $14 million - on a taskforce to stop the looting of what's left of our $16.2 billion.
Or to seem to.
Why did Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard only now announce this "safeguard" when it's been clear for months that your taxes were being wasted like never before in our history?
Three reasons, all squalid.
First, Sunday Night on Channel Seven last weekend ran a devastating report on this scandal. Second, it's election year, and a taskforce makes you seem you're dealing with the problem.
Sunday Night “Building Education Revolution” report.
And third, although Gillard refuses to admit it, she has an advance report on this BER racket from the Auditor-General that is likely to be devastating, and it's a fair bet she set up her taskforce to short-circuit the criticism she'll get when it's released.
This BER rorting is the biggest Rudd waste so far. But the more graphic symbol is his free insulation scheme.
Rudd barged ahead even after his own department was warned in writing a year ago that rushing out these freebies could attract shysters, burn houses and kill people.
It all happened, as Rudd was warned, with four installers dead, 120 homes set on fire and more than 300,000 homes fitted with potentially lethal or near-useless junk.
To fix the disaster and compensate the losers, the Government may now have to spend anything up to $1 billion. It also means taxpayers must pay millions to take out insulation that Rudd made them pay millions to put in. It couldn't get crazier.
Correction. It already has. See, Rudd meant this giveaway to "stimulate" the economy and put people in jobs. But the day before Easter (a good time to bury bad news) his government announced, in effect, that his insulation scheme had killed off the very industry he'd meant it to help.
The Government said it would now give insulation manufacturers $15 million to help them stockpile all the batts and foil they can no longer sell, now that Rudd's scheme has stuck the stuff in a million more ceilings.
Those stockpiles of unsellable batts are a clear sign that these once healthy businesses have been poleaxed. Indeed, an industry which once predicted Rudd's free insulation plan would create 4000 jobs now says its collapse has cost the jobs of 6000.
That's why Rudd has spent another $41 million of your money to help retrain the people sacked from an industry he spent billions to "stimulate".
And still this lunatic incompetence doesn't end. To fix this mess before the election, Rudd has switched his entire emissions trading team on to it.
Remember them? They're the 154 public servants Rudd originally hired to work on what until this year he called "the greatest moral, economic and social challenge of our time" - the man-made global warming he told us his great new green tax on everything would help stop.
But that tax is now blocked in the Senate, and public support for it is falling like a batt out of hell, so Rudd has put "the greatest moral, economic and social challenge of our time" on the backburner and set his $57 million-a-year team of planet-savers to work on insulation instead.
And still this comedy is not done. Rudd last weekend froze the processing of refugee applications from Sri Lanka and Afghanistan to stop the tide of boats he unleashed by weakening our boat people laws two years ago. Boat people were a problem John Howard had fixed, cutting arrivals to just 18 boats over six years. Rudd unfixed that problem by going soft, so he's now luring in more than 10 boats a month.
The Christmas Island detention centre is full and fixing this will cost hundreds of millions more of your dollars, with the 2000 people who've arrived just this year costing some $80,000 each to process.
Then there's the whole new "Department of Population" Rudd abruptly created to hose down the alarm he'd raised by not only letting in a record 300,000 immigrants last year, but by then endorsing predictions that our population will explode to 36 million by 2050.
And we still don't know how much in total we must pay for all Rudd's other failures – Fuel Watch, Grocery Watch, the scrapped tender of his first broadband scheme, the lobbying for his pan-Asian body, the botched Green Loans plan, the rorted solar hot-water scheme, the "Ideas Summit" fiasco and the new nuclear disarmament body.
More amazing is that Rudd retains the air of a man who knows just what he's doing, and is across every detail. Watch him now sell his latest multi-billion-dollar plan - a health shake-up that Ken Baxter, former head of the premier's departments in the Victoria and NSW, warns will create a bureaucratic monster that will eat money.
But look at Rudd. See how assured and competent he seems, even as his last schemes still fall around his ears?
Amazing gift, that, and you're paying billions for it.
Beijing’s highest ranking representative in Australia, Australian Prime Minister, Lu Kewen aka Kevin 07,has finally ground to a halt, he simply has run out of acronyms, bumper stickers, and babies to kiss, he is now after two years as one commentator said “haunting hospital wards” pushing his new plan for Australia’s crippled bankrupt FREE Health Care system , Medicare.
Lu Kewen electioneering in Hong Kong 2007
The word has gone out for his and his party’s most loyal media cheer squad, the Australian taxpayer funded, Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) to go into damage control and try and get some positive spin on their PM by having the Messiah praising him from the White House as the Messiah’s man down under, who was so much like,of all things the Messiah himself.
America is now bankrupt, Australia is far from that however when Lu Kewen took office in November 2007 he inherited from the previous conservative Howard government a surplus of some $25 BILLION dollars a little over two years into his first term he has turned that surplus into a $300 Billion deficit.
He is with doubt the most incompetent Prime Minister in the history of the nation he and his government make the infamous far left Labor Whitlam government of the 70’s appear conservative in comparison, its no wonder Hussein Obama has such high regard for Lu Kewen, Kevin 07, or as Bill Clinton calls him “Prime Minister Rude”.

Tony Abbott forces Lu Kewen backflip on Hospitals
Kevin Rudd rescues small-town medicine
By Simon Benson
The Daily Telegraph
March 24, 2010 12:00AM
PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd has performed the first backflip of his $50 billion national health reform, conceding he may have to change it to save small and rural hospitals.
The decision means that Mr Rudd has guaranteed the future of 118 NSW hospitals that The Daily Telegraph revealed last month would struggle to survive under his reforms.
It is also an admission by Mr Rudd that his casemix formula, which funds hospitals for the services they perform, may not work for everyone.
During yesterday's televised debate with Opposition Leader Tony Abbott, the Prime Minister conceded, under pressure from the states, that the activity-based funding model would not be suitable for smaller, mostly rural, hospitals.
Instead, Mr Rudd revealed for the first time that he would now consider block-funded grants for smaller hospitals - the way they are already funded by most States.
The Daily Telegraph has learned that in NSW alone the Federal Government could face a potential bill of $800 million to $1 billion to fund the gap between an activity-based funding and the real cost of maintaining smaller hospitals with fewer than 50 beds.
"What we would propose under our activity-based funding formula, which I thought was actually a formula backed by the Opposition - I might have got that wrong - is that it would take into account all the local costs in rural areas and the rest to make sure it works," he said in the debate.
"But if that doesn't (work) then of course we'd look at a form of national block funding, which was able to underpin the continuation of smaller rural hospitals in the future. They have a vital part in the future delivery of health services to Australians." Australian Medical Association president Dr Andrew Pesce confirmed it was the first he had heard of the change of policy.
But he said the AMA had been warning the Prime Minister of concerns about activity-based funding, also known as casemix funding, since the policy's release.
"Even with the weightings and extra loadings to allow for casemix funding . . . they tried it in Victoria and South Australia and it didn't work," Dr Pesce said.
"I don't know what they have been saying behind the scenes but I don't believe they didn't know about this.
"It was clear that they had to announce alternative funding to regional hospitals. It is of great reassurance to us."
Opposition leader Tony Abbott said that Mr Rudd's health reform policy was being made up as he went along.
"He has performed a complete somersault. He now concedes that casemix funding won't work without massive adjustments for smaller country hospitals. If he had thought it through in the first place he would not have fallen into this trap," he said.

Lu Kewens’ internet censorship plans “unworkable” says Google
Conroy's filter plan unworkable, says Google Australia

March 23, 2010 1:07PM
FRESH from halting censorship of search results in China, internet giant Google says Australia's mandatory ISP filter is both unworkable and unwanted by parents.
The federal government plan will force ISPs to filter web pages that contain refused classification-rated content based on a government blacklist.

Labor senator Kate Lundy, Greens communications spokesman Scott Ludlam and a host of privacy advocates and child groups say they prefer an opt-in version of the filter.
Google was one of 174 submissions received by the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, which had called for public feedback on transparency and accountability measures for the refused-classification list.
Google took the opportunity to comment on the broader proposal for mandatory filtering, saying parents would rather see more effort into cyber safety education than censorship.
"In considering the government's plans for mandatory ISP level filtering we have listened to many views, but most importantly those of our users," its 24-page submission says.
"We have talked directly with parents around Australia about their views on ISP level filtering. The strong view from parents was that the government's proposal goes too far and would take away their freedom of choice around what information they and their children can access.
"The importance of a better effort to educate parents and children about online safety was repeatedly highlighted as the area where most effort should be focused."
The filtering scheme, championed by Communications Minister Stephen Conroy, is mainly aimed at blocking child pornography web pages but Google argues that the RC category is too wide.
"RC is a broad category of content that includes not just child sexual abuse material but also socially and politically controversial material - for example, educational content on safer drug use - as well as the grey realms of material instructing in any crime, including politically controversial crimes such as euthanasia.
"Decisions in relation to instructional, educational, scientific or current affairs video material will often be much more complex than in relation to entertainment 'films'," Google said.
"Scenes of war or terrorist activity may 'offensively depict real violence' and rate RC when the video is not in any way 'gratuitous violence' or posted for entertainment."
The net behemoth says website operators should be offered a proper explanation before their web pages gets filtered.
Google believes the filter would slow user access speeds as it would have to be implemented by hundreds of ISPs and millions of internet users who access billions of web pages.
The live trial last year of a handful of ISPs didn't follow the department's own testing technical framework, Google said, and omitted key aspects such as testing a blacklist of up to 10,000 URLs and piloting new technologies like IPv6.
There wasn't a representative cross-section of ISPs that took part in the pilot and no costs of filtering were gathered.
"There is a risk that these factors (not covered in the trials) limit the usefulness of the trials," it said.
Popular video-sharing website YouTube, which Google owns, has had its fair share of bad press with footage of violence or bullying aired for all and sundry. But Google says all videos must comply with its guidelines and YouTube abides by local laws.
Any suggestion that owners of high-traffic websites would voluntarily agree to remove or block content deemed RC-rated was a folly.
When Google receives a legal request, such as a court order to remove material, it would investigate the legitimacy of the request but not automatically comply.
"Beyond these clearly defined parameters, we will not remove material from YouTube."
It believes that under the filtering regime, the likelihood of material on high volume sites being assessed as RC and appearing on the blacklist would be higher.
“It’s all about getting the balance right”
The company reiterated views made in December that the scope of content to be filtered is too wide, and that the government's plan was heavy-handed.
According to Google, moving to a mandatory ISP level filtering regime with a scope that goes well beyond child sexual abuse material would raise genuine questions about restrictions on access to information.
Google searches in China blocked despite end of censorship

CHINESE access to websites covering sensitive topics such as Tibet have remained blocked despite an announcement from Google that it had stopped censoring its Chinese-language search engine.
The web giant announced yesterday that it had stopped filtering results on China-based Google.cn and was redirecting mainland Chinese users to an uncensored site in Hong Kong - effectively closing down the mainland site.
Searches conducted today of subjects like "Falun Gong" and "June 4" - referring to the Tiananmen pro-democracy protests in 1989 - from mainland computers ended with the message: "Internet Explorer cannot display the web page".
Even when a list of results came up for other sensitive key words such as "Tibet riot" and "Amnesty International" not all of the sites could be opened and the response "cannot display the website" again was seen.
Websites of organisations deemed by China's ruling Communist Party to be hostile to the nation - such as the Epoch Times, Peacehall and groups supporting the Tiananmen Democracy Movement - were all still blocked.
And popular websites such as Google's video-sharing service YouTube also continued to be inaccessible from Beijing despite the re-routing through Google.com.hk.
The same searches on Google.com.hk from computers in Hong Kong displayed full results - suggesting that China was itself using its "Great Firewall" of web censorship to keep users from having unfettered internet access.
Google's action came a little more than two months after the internet giant said it had been the victim of cyberattacks originating from China.
"Earlier today we stopped censoring our search services - Google Search, Google News, and Google Images - on Google.cn," Google chief legal officer David Drummond said in a post on the company's official blog.
"Users visiting Google.cn are now being redirected to Google.com.hk, where we are offering uncensored search in simplified Chinese, specifically designed for users in mainland China and delivered via our servers in Hong Kong."
China quickly denounced the move, saying Google had "violated its written promise" and was "totally wrong" to stop censoring its Chinese language search engine and to blame Beijing for alleged hacker attacks.
