Yeah, I'm scared. In a few years time this country is going to feel like China. How long is it going to be before we get our own Great National Internet Firewall? Some covert Australian Censorship Party (ACP) is forming somewhere and conspiring to form a one-party dictatorship. The Federal Government is going to start asking media organisations to self-censor "dangerous" ideas out of their communications in the name of national security.

Armoured tanks from the People's Enslavement Army (PEA) are going to start rolling into Federation Square and trample pro-democracy protesters. The dragon in the Southern Hemisphere will awaken. Cheesy

I was just hoping ppl would look @ the site and realise whats going on here. See whats happening to our country. That only goes to 2006 and then they got way more secretive about it.

Are you Aware that THE GOVERNMENT now runs the censorship of the Media via a retired Judge of their choosing. Check their new rules which they have passed into Law.

With the Internet any site that has over 300 hits or posts a day will be scrutinised for content.

BIG BROTHER is alive and well in the form of this iniquitous LABOR Government that smells like the local garbage dump.

Noticed in a polls today that 27% of the people are still willing to vote for them. Are they insane????

(Hope one of their stoogey boys is reading this right now!) Angry

Not really the point though, is it? It matters where it is hosted, not where the domain is registered at. And ultimately, all such things are fairly meaningless. Legislation can easily define a site like ozpolitic an australian site on the basis of content and users/owners regardless of its physical location or DNS registration.

I dont know whats supposed to be "conspiracy theory" about this. Its just an information site about censorship laws in australia. Did you read it? Was it the word "secret"? You dont think the govt keeps secrets?

IMO the NBN is a blatant bid to have control of the internet in australia. If the govt controls it they can make whatever censorship rules they want to.
