[AusNOG] GetUp planning commercials regarding 'That List'

[Darren Moss]

Hi Noggers,
 
The GetUp team are back.... this time with a cause that seems pretty
close to many hearts on this forum ;)
 
I don't normally forward this stuff, but it seems so appropriate given
this week's constant postings about that list.
 
 
Yesterday Senator Conroy confirmed1 that websites on the Government's
closely guarded 'blacklist' of censored sites had been leaked. News
outlets are reporting that if the Government's censorship plan went
ahead, a dentist and a tour operator are just two of the many legitimate
Australian businesses whose websites would be blocked.

We've reached hundreds of thousands of Australians through our petition
and online advertising campaign. Now we're after your creative ideas so
that together we reach millions.

We're producing a TV ad to turn up the heat, and we want your ideas.
Script ideas, images, music, video content or just a good pun - your
brainwave could end up on national TV! We'll turn the best ideas into a
TV advertising campaign ready to hit the airwaves in April. Click here

The internet isn't about control, censorship and government
interference. It's about collaboration. Working together we can create
and broadcast a message the whole nation will see. 

This is our opportunity to drive a nail into the coffin of internet
censorship. Send in your ideas for a hard-hitting TV ad, and we'll use
the best ones to create a unique TV ad:

<http://www.getup.org.au/campaign/CensorThis?dc=666,519221,3> 

Our online ads, running all over the internet since December, have been
seen over 3.5 million times. Internet users are firing up the
bloggersphere against the proposed censorship. Now it's time to take our
message to TV screens around the nation.

A hard-hitting TV ad delivered now can protect that most important of
freedoms - the freedom of the community to stand up and defend rights we
perceive to be under threat. Let's harness the power of the internet to
create the best ad to defend our rights.

Thanks for being a part of the solution,

The GetUp team
