Freedom of speech is apparently unaustralian

I keep meaning to do a proper post on this but am just too dumb (Mental age of 37, according to the DS, but I do not feel as clever as the 37 year olds I have known) So: Roundup of links on Aussie Net Censorship at Hoyden about Town (Lots of other people have posted about it, but they have a nice list of links)

Just..argh! Bad! Stupid government.

In happier news, I am currently watching Kyle XY. It is fun, in a slightly tacky teen soap opera sort of way.

I read some more about the blocking thing in the paper. . not happy. Last I'd heard there was an opt out - where you could ring up and say 'hello I would like to look at porn!" but no that's gone not happy that they are blocking out euthanasia and stuff too. Just cause something is illegal doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to find out about it.

Oh, yes, that's the main thing that makes it so terrible, otherwise we could just let the people who want it have it and ignore them (as is the case with the free software filters the last government brought in)
