Another example is censorship of the Internet. The John Howard government was held over a barrel by Christian social conservatives who found easy access to information a terrible threat to their worldview (the kids will see porn, save the babies! the babies! think of the children… *SOB FOR EFFECT HERE*) while also facing the problem that the Internet is actually useful for business and industry, and it makes money, and any effective censorship system is practically impossible.

Their solution was farce. Roll out an impressive system for filtering that comforts the Luddites while having no effect in the real world. Then some spoilsport goes and publicizes that the system does not work and they build up a new and even more impressive system to do nothing while whispering very hard in the ear of those in the know that they should shut up about it.

The Rudd government are rapidly running into the same dilemma, they made big promises about Internet censorship and now have to give the illusion of fulfilling those promises while trying not to smash anything. Yet another argument for being a Libertarian (if anyone is feeling short of arguments in that direction).

Tax law is complex to ensure that everyone is kept in sufficient state of confusion that no one can figure out whether they are getting more or less out of it than the next guy.

Speaking of such things, how come my home loan is over 8% (and same with everyone I talk to) despite this being the rate that no-one pays and probably the most secure loan in the marketplace?
