[AusNOG] Lundy vs Conroy on the filter

[Curtis Bayne]

Personally I was dissapointed when Turnbull moved on - his position on  
the board of OzEmail those many years ago no doubt gave him visibility  
of the challenges of this industry. I would feel more secure with  
someone like him at the helm of a national telecoms infastructure  
project...

"Such is life", I suppose...
