[AusNOG] Rudd shelves Filtering legislation

[Matt Shadbolt]

Watched the program last night... this part got me particularly angry:

QUENTIN MCDERMOTT: Can you guarantee that the scope of the content covered
by the mandatory filter will not be widened by a future Labor government?

STEPHEN CONROY, COMMUNICATIONS MINISTER: Yes, absolutely.

We're making it very clear. This is our policy. Refused classification only.


If a majority of the Parliament in the future want to try and broaden the
classification, well then Australians should stand up and say just a minute
and I'll be one of them.

AHHHH Conroy... Australians ARE standing up and saying 'just one minute'!
You're just refusing to listen!
