The Australian Government intends to impose mandatory national censorship on the Australian Internet.It will decide what websites and blogs we may read or post comments to in the future.
The ISP-level filtering it intends to impose may slow the Internet so badly in this country that many online sites may no longer be able to reliably publish.
Please join us Down Under and petition the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy so that this draconian form of filtering is not introduced.
Remember your rural cousins on the New South Wales North Coast who already struggle to keep in touch across cyberspace via some of the slowest broadband and dial up systems in the developed world.
Support your fellow bloggers who may be removed from Australian view if they are on hosted sites like Blogger.com if just one of its many, many blogs is deemed to have content of which Senators Conroy and Fielding disapprove.
