If you haven't heard about the great firewall of Australia then this is a good place to start http://www.efa.org.au/ and 80plus threads here http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum...t=1457947&p=49 ,there are many groups in Australia and around the world that are against his plan which will have us ending up with the internet censored to the levels of China and North Korea!

What we have is a plan to have a secret blacklist ,where there's no oversight or transparency and no way to appeal or get removed if your site is placed on it by mistake ,( a leaked copy of the blacklist had a dentist and other similar sites on it!), and there is zero safeguards to prevent this or future governments placing opponents or anything they don't like on the list!

Been whinging about this for some time. Conjob and co are completely nuts if they think we will continue to put up with that crap piece of legislation.
