    After huge protests, a backdown from the government and shedloads of wasted cash, Australia's voluntary "rabbit proof fence" of censorship protection was rolled out today.
    In a move claimed to "protect children" the Australian government initially wanted a filter which would sit on every ISP's computer. It would filter out access to every website that the Australian government felt that people should not see.
