[AusNOG] Internet Censorship "scuttled" article

[Bruce Forster]

Hey Mark/All,

 

You added an extra - :-) http://users.on.net/~newton/xenophon-2009-01-09.pdf

 

I'm just glad that people are starting to see it for what it is a waste of
time / money. 

 

 

PS: I can't help but wonder if it was made such a strong issue to divert
attention from the current global economic down turn. :P

 

 

Regards,

 

Bruce

Interesting read.

 

I got a less-strongly-worded but similar indication out of Sen.

Xenophon in January:

As I said yesterday, as long as this remains Government policy

the pressure needs to remain.  It isn't dead until it's lying in the

dirt with a spear sticking out of its eye socket.

 

How was this ever going to work?

 

Ask Bernadette McMenamin :-)
