I get the feeling tha...This is just the first step. I get the feeling that this new censorship will include political opposition. <br />Australians are obviously getting dumber and dumber as we allow religious nutjobs to use personal morals to dictate legislation.<br />Hopefully the hackers keep up the pressure on the government. It's crazy that i am applauding hackers, but they seem to be the only group able to get any media attention at all on the subject.<br />The 2 day hack on Gov sites has barely made it to mainstream media, it's almost like the Censorship has already begun. <br />Baby boomers (my parents Gen') are completely unaware of what the government is up to. When I explained to my parents what is proposed, that we will pay 30 billion dollars for a new network, only to have it censored and slowed up to 85% of it operating speed, and that our Government has approached Google to apply the same censorship they provided FOR CHINA, they were shocked to say the least.<br />Secret blacklists, censorship and spying is how the Nazis and other Facist regimes operate, not supposedly free, democratic Australia.<br />Methinks if this goes through, we may be subjected to a serious pushback by those who know how to manipulate the system the government wish to control and censor. This will, of course, all be called terrorism, and the government will probably enact EVEN MORE DRACONIAN POLICY to counter it. <br />I own over 40 books which are BANNED in Australia. I am technically a criminal for importing these and each book i hear of that is banned, i buy. I NEED to see what the Government doesn't want me to see. <br />Australia has the biggest banned book, movie and videogames list in the Democratic world, and <1% of Australians know this fact.<br />This nanny state we call Australia is now at the crossroads, the only question is, which path will we (they) take.Jamesnoreply@blogger.com
