Collective Shout, a small but vocal lobby group, has long called for a mandatory internet filter that would prevent access to adult content for everyone in Australia.

They want a nanny state to do their parenting for them, cus they are shit parents who spend their time petitioning the government about things they could just fucking unplug.

Bingo. They're just projecting their failures as inadequate parents because they didn't realize how hard child rearing would be after knocking up their high school sweetheart and buying a white picket fence. It's always the same case.
