Hockey: we will oppose internet filter

Shadow Treasurer, Joe Hockey went on triple J radio yesterday and said the Coalition will vote against Labor's plans for ISP-level mandatory internet filtering. Some enlightened conservatives in the Liberal Party have realised that the filter is being set up, in large part, to target conservative and libertarian activism on the internet, including censorship of so-called "conspiracy theories".

Coalition opposition means the filtering legislation is effecively dead in the Senate.
