Notice how BOTH government and opposition stooges shy away from mentioning CENSORSHIP policies dictated to them by the likes of Murdoch, Big Business and Washington.
While Google now defends against China’s DRACONIAN censorship of internet information by re-directing mainland searches to unrestricted Hong Kong, AUSTRALIA'S Kevin ‘yes Rupert’ Rudd and opposition leader, Tony ‘errand boy’ Abbott, support information CENSORSHIP in the most REGRESSIVE policy move YET SEEN in Oz since media censorship was lifted in the 60's!
Both these men shame OUR NATION, its reputation for higher learning and OPEN education – contrast the moron yanks – and would ATTEMPT to implement what the FREE WORLD SEEKS TO ERADICATE – information CENSORSHIP, you despicable LACKEYS!
The following article is YET ANOTHER jab in the face of BOTH these servile, UNREPRESENTATIVE, bastards that pretend to the highest office in the land. Someone please inform these regressive, lackey politicians that Australia lifted, after a protracted and hard fight, paternalistic censorship policies in the 60’s!
Governments or politicians that seek to reverse enlightened social policies and stifle FREEDOM in any way CANNOT BE TRUSTED and must be EMPHATICALLY REJECTED lest we lose what took decades to achieve in this, FREE, INFORMATION-loving country! Restore Australian DEMOCRACY; reject the CLEARLY CORRUPT two party system:
Australian Internet Censorship Criticised By Yahoo, Google
by ITProPortal Staff (Edited.)
Internet Czars Yahoo and Google have criticised Australia's plans to enmesh the nation in a sophisticated internet censorship structure, which according to some, will restrict the free flow of information on the internet by prohibiting access to legal information.
In defence of ‘their’ policy, the Australian government has explained that the internet filter will effectively block access to offensive websites related to child pornography, sexual violence and websites explaining drug and weapon use.
The new internet filtering technology, which has been proposed by Australia's Department of Communications, if applied, will make Australia one of the strictest regulators of internet in the world. Statements made by Yahoo and Google are among the 174 complaints submitted by the public regarding the internet filtering proposal, which will soon go into review.
Commenting on the controversial internet filter, Lucinda Barlow of Google Australia said in a statement that “moving to a mandatory ISP-level filtering regime with a scope that goes well beyond such material is heavy-handed and could raise genuine questions about restrictions and access to information.” Yahoo representatives on the other hand, claimed that the technological advanced internet filter has the potential to go well beyond blocking child pornography to blocking socially controversial content like dissenting political blogs, gay and lesbian issues.
The proposal has been criticised by Reporters without Borders, which is not surprising since it would put Australia on par with some of the most reviled regimes on the planet.
