Stephen Conroy told journalists yesterday that he expects the government’s plan for internet censorship filtering to hit parliament by the end of this year. Great.
Despite the fact that there are a lot of people out there who openly oppose the mandatory internet filter proposed by the current Labor government, most are unable to argue their case from a purely technical standpoint. Fortunately they don’t need to, thanks to outspoken critic and engineer Mark Newton, who is now claiming that the ISP filter trials held last year may have been illegal.
Politics is generally as dull as watching cardboard boxes being made on an overcast day. This video isn’t that much of an exception, but it is worth watching for the fact that Greens Senator Scott Ludlam vocally stands up and condemns the Government’s proposed Internet filter.
