Australia abandons vast Internet filtering scheme

http://j.mp/UyeGk6  (ITNews Australia)

   "The Federal Government has formally abandoned plans to introduce
    legislation for mandatory ISP filtering, closing a dark chapter in
    politics concerning Australia's internet.  Instead, internet service
    providers will be directed by the Government and the Australian
    Federal Police to block "child abuse websites" that feature on an
    INTERPOL block list."
