Google has just announced that as of right now, they have ceased providing a specially filtered search service for the Chinese mainland, rather they are redirecting each request for google.cn to google.com.hk, where the requirement for filtering doesn't exist (AFAIK).
This is a big step for Google and it's going to have repercussions for other nations that seek to censor their internet feeds, such as Australia.

You know something, there are a lot of us working to try and educate and inform our family, friends and communities about the dangers and inadequacies of the proposed mandatory ISP filtering scheme. We're actually talking to people, explaining the issues as they stand and answering questions.
We're also trying to get the media to move away from the over-simplistic "It's all about the Child Porn" angle to look at the real problems with the scheme.

Okay here's a first draft of the letter I'm planning on sending to my local member:
I am writing to you concerning the proposed introduction of a mandatory ISP filtering scheme by the Australian Federal Government.
