Unfortunately most people don't realise what's wrong with the idea.
Once it's implemented there will be some initial pain, some protest and 
bad press, a bunch of people will opt-out and we will just learn to live 
with the occasional mandatory blocked site.

As much as I hate it I suspect we will still have it in five years time.

We have had filtering of websites hosted in Australia and Australian 
based news servers for at least the last seven years.
