[AusNOG] Why No Form Of Censorship Is A Good Thing

[Brad Gould]

Lets censor them to protest censorship?

Freedom of speech (something we have no actual right to in Australia, 
but pretty much all believe in) cuts both ways.

To the issue at hand today, I agree its completely comical, and at its 
heart, diabolical.  I hope the SMH appeals the decision, and I suspect 
any independent arbitrator would have a field day with this.
