[AusNOG] Conroy announcement on filtering

[Julian De Marchi]

suck it up.

I might then donate that to a charity who actually helps create good outcomes for kids in danger possibly demonstrating with some media coverage about how misspent the money was.

Good tactic. :)

Third para down.

"The Communications Minister, Stephen Conroy, said today he would
introduce legislation just before next year's elections to force ISPs
to block a blacklist of "refused classification" (RC) websites for all
Australian internet users."

Maybe if Labor do not get back in this will not go ahead...
