Big Brother is set to become reality for Oz folks faster than I reported in my last news post regarding this matter.

Australia is preparing to launch a public test of Internet filtering systems designed to block pornographic content at the ISP level even though government-funded studies from 2006 show that ISP-level filtering won't work. Plans for the filtering were first revealed last year as part of a $189 million anti-porn initiative that was announced by lawmakers at an event hosted by the Australian Christian Lobby and broadcast to over 700 Australian churches.

Filtering systems from various vendors will be rolled out for testing in Tasmania during a trial period under the supervision of Enex TestLab, which was awarded a contract for the program by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). The filters will be enabled by default and consumers will have to request unfiltered connectivity if they wish to opt out of the program. ACMA's official Internet blacklist, which is based on Australia's National Classification Scheme, will serve as the basis for the filtering systems

I wonder if the pirate bay is listed on this secret list, anyone know if the list is publicly available ?
