No, not all slash sites - the stuff that is borderline is depictions of underage sex (eg. Harry Potter) and incest (eg. Supernatural). But the article's writer draws parallels between the way that they will choose which sites to filter (based on complaints to ACMA) and how the great LJ Strikethrough of 2007 was complaints-based also and a whole whack of sites went down based on keywords and ham-fisted criteria. It's very possible the same thing will happeni in Australia, but we wont get the re-instatement after.
Please don't take anything I say as gospel, but my interpretation of the article is that it is a very real possibility that large chunks of fandom will get cut off from Australia through this legislation. Obviously, we wont know for sure until it's put in place.
Even the possibility angers me though. The whole idea of filtering the internet gets me shaking with violent rage.
