Am I the only one to spot that they’re going to use a _Content_
filter to actually filter URLs?
A content filter is able to scan the pages for offending
material, when they talk about installing a black list of web sites.
And a content filter has got far bigger technical challenges
than just filtering URLs and IPs ... or are they giving themselves the ability
to deploy further and smarter filtering in the future?

Out of curiosity does the NZ list also contain RC (refused
classification) material or is it purely child pornography – or are
people being kept in the dark about the exact contents of the list? Is it as
useless as the proposed AU one which will only stop HTTP?
I guess you can say this is an issue close to all of our hearts
(Aussies that is) at the moment - both because of the wasted tax payers money
(what good is a filter that doesn’t work) and the ability for our
government to censor what the public servants perceive as restricted content at
whim!
