miriam_eThe government is shortly going to make a decision on whether the idiotic censorship of Australian internet will go ahead now that the "trials" are ending.
This obscenity will slow the net down, block legitimate sites, be easy for the bad guys to circumvent, will cost many millions of dollars to operate, and will give an unaccountable few the ability to secretly muzzle anybody.
Sign the petition at:
http://www.getup.org.au/campaign/AddTheirNameToYours
GetUp has managed to get more than 100,000 signatures to this so far. The more we get the greater chance we have of stopping the government proceeding with this obscenity.
This Friday GetUp will publish the petition in The Australian newspaper. You have about one day to add your name and to get as many of your friends as possible to add their names too. This is very important. Don't let Australia become a laughing stock. Our damn country is moving backwards!
