I don't feel that Conroy contradicted himself. Compiling the list is  
not irresponsible, neither is distributing it to "trusted" third  
parties. It's simply the act of broadcasting this secret list to the  
world that he feels is "irresponsible". According to Steven Conroy,  
the process of viewing pederasty materials for the sake of protecting  
other people's children is a noble cause, but the publishing of a list  
of pederasty sites with no intention of actually viewing them is evil.

This is perfectly understandable if you are willing to believe that  
being elected to Parliament makes you more intelligent, noble and pure  
than everyone else in the country.

He's claiming that the list that was published is not the ACMA  
blacklist. The ACMA agrees:
  - http://www.acma.gov.au/WEB/STANDARD/pc=PC_311669

He does not make any statement about whether or not the published list  
was a superset of the ACMA blacklist. Neither does he make any  
statement about whether porn or dentistry sites will be added to the  
list willy nilly.

I expect that Steven Conroy believes that it is possible to keep  
secrets by sharing them only with trusted henchmen.
