The Great One For All Australian Firewall

Conroy on 4BC Radio, 28th Nov. YouTube - Conroy.wmv

Gets really interesteding from 1:30 onwards when Conroy gets ask about the "unwanted material". Once again he's on the child porn bandwagon, however he's not disclosing any thing that has been proposed from Family First Party where they want things like Fetish and Online Gambling added to the list, not to mention a lot of other things that are actually not illegal by law.

And in the last few days we have

^^ So I find myself agreeing with groups I didn't even expect (though I'm not going to elaborate on that).

It seems like a whole new level of stupidity to support such a filter.

I know that iinet is rather loud and proud to trial to filter. It's not that they support the idea. Every time the filter make a mistake, iiNet is going to be let it be known. The problem is that the full extent of the ACMA blacklist is still mystery.

Optus and Bigbond are considering to trial. However it under rather heavy review.

Not sure on which other ISP are considering the trial.

Although I should be more active in that forum, I'm not. About the only time I seem to go there is when there is a magor stuff up an ISP.
LIke most of the time the Whirlpool forums seems to know about an outage before the ISP realises that it there. I think the reason is that i really do not like the Whirlpool interface.

^ yeah i go there like once a month. Much for the same reason.

Senator Stephen Conroy snoozes through own Bill debate

COMMUNICATIONS Minister Stephen Conroy has been caught napping as the Senate debated his legislation relating to the planned digital television switchover.
Senator Conroy was in the chamber listening to debate on the Bill.

He appeared to rest his eyes through much of a speech by Liberal backbencher Alan Eggleston before being roused by a second speaker.

"Sorry to disturb your slumber,'' Liberal Ian Macdonald said.

Senator Conroy offered no response.

HAHAHAHA. How put this bloody idiot in power? :|
