[AusNOG] conroy reaffirms commitment to filter

[Darren Moss]

Hi Noggers,

How about we build an industry web portal which represents our collective view specifically relating to the Filter.

Then, we collect signatures on a petition and have them presented to Mr Conroy.

We should also seek SME advice which can be added to the petition, so the Minister can see just how ineffective this filter is going to be (at our cost of course).

I am sure we could ask our journalist friends on this list to assist with spreading the word and letting the Government know that this is not going to get past without consultation.

My 2c.


Regards,

We don't really have a union to represent us.

If we do I've never heard of them, which means they aren't doing a good enough job getting the message out there.

The miners made the claim their jobs were at stake; rather, the mine _owners_.  Are any large ISPs threatening they'll have to go under - destroying jobs - if this legislation is passed?  If no-one wants to even bluff, I guess we're SOL.
