[AusNOG] What are we , collectively, doing about the impending mandatatory censorship scheme?

[Kai]

Right now, I'm probly voting Greens, then Pirate party...ACL, Labor and Liberal can go last!
Greens are the only mainstream party who look like they've got their head screwed on properley.

Only problem is, since political parties have shown their members have no accountability, or responsibility, and that they can go ahead with whatever they want, no matter how much we tell them we don't want it, how do we know that the next mob we vote in are going to keep their promises?

Kate Lundy, please make your way to the stage...

Hi Dave,
Yeah, I know they have no actual published/formal position.  That's why I asked if people knew.  The whole problem is that the Opposition isn't the logical choice.

What we need is some celebrities to back the cause.
