Whatever you claim about this Greg, the EFA request, despite Danny's
moderating comments, still amount to asking for publication of a how
to find guide for child pornography. I, and no doubt many others,
would find any publication of information on where to find child
pornography very offensive, to use one of your descriptives.

And no matter what legislation there is in Australia, all Australia
can do is report the finding of child pornography on foreign servers
to the relevant authorities (and filters) and let them act on it if
they can or want to. A system that is not perfect, but that is much
better than nothing.

A shame EFA can't consider these issues in their FOI requests.

David
