[AusNOG] Australian Censorship program to go ahead - Gillard supports a the great firewall

[Phil Pierotti]

"I for one am 100% in favor of this filtering scheme.

PS Stephen, that 10 million has cleared in my account - thanks for the prompt payment."

Is this what's actually going on , behind closed doors?

labor Prime minister Gillard supports Internet censorship,

By all likelihood due to inaction by us and the technology community, we will be paving the way to a censorship regime in Australia by this year.

I am interested to know who in the ISP community is supporting this plan? Obviously someone is talking to Conroys office, I don't think he'll still try to go ahead without the support of the big boys? (or is there back room deals going on with NBN?)
