[AusNOG] Conroy retains Communications, gains new responsibility

[Vitaly Osipov]

>From the iphone/conroy article:

"If nothing else, that challenge might give him an appreciation for
the similar attempts many Australians will make to circumvent the
filter once legislation is introduced later this year -- something
Senator Conroy also reaffirmed is still on the government agenda
despite frequent delays."

Great journalism :)

Regards,
Vitaly
