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

[Blake Burgess]

There is a Pirate Party in aus - they're not registered yet though. They've submitted their application to be a registered political party to the AEC and are currently pending being approved.

Does anyone on this list actually do any work?!? It seems like every 10 minutes I check my emails, I have like 5 emails from Karl, 4 from Matt Moyle-Croft and a couple of hundred from others... Kidding guys.

I think I'm going to vote Greens aswell. I didn't think we had a Pirate party in Aus though?

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.
