As far as kiddie porn goes, it is very much possible to go after the
source, it is illegal in pretty much all countries, i.e. there are no
happy land of kiddie porn to speak of... if Rudd were to spend that
100+ million on the source, I bet it will actually work, and that
Australia won't be seen as a censorship country on an international
level.

The 'downside' could be that they won't be seen as having been 'doing
something' to 'protect the children', however they are keep this low
profile anyway so it is a moot point.

So are they really intended just to filter out kiddie porn? Just think
about it, the compulsory filter includes "inappropriate material",
these vague words are intentionally chosen, it is no accident. ;)
