Keep on rocking in the free world! More like Keep on rocking in the censored world... Since when was it every decided that blocking information was ever a good idea? It never works, there are always loop holes and tremendous backlash.
Not only will it cost millions to do this, but unless you're internet has rocket boots that 80% is going to make everybody's internet like dial-up.
That's going through? Seriously? I thought that was abandoned a long time ago. Damn you labour party! Stop wasting our money!
Move to New Zealand. People are too lazy and complacent to create a backlash these days, the most they'll do is sit around and ***** about it.
Aussie is quickly becoming a Minimerica, your conservative politicians are almost as bad as the Bible Belt fundies, and for some stupid reason, the masses seem to listen to them.
So move to the Micro UK, across the ditch.
Sure, we got cold weather and Chav equivalents, but hell, we got sensible censorship and a lax attitude towards most things.

In today's paper and didn't feel it was necessary to read the actual article. Either that or they're trolling. I can't believe so many people are taking him on his word when he doesn't even have a source...
You could always leave. Plenty of other places on the planet to live.
Some of them quite nice. Might i suggest Japan? Its lovely this time of year. And theyer idea of censorship is lightly pixelating genital regions. Housing can be affordible and cosy if you dont mind a small living space, and the people are kind as can be to anyone who treats them with respect.

It's easy to believe something that involves the Australian government doing something that we don't like, it's pretty common now. Thanks for clearing it up a bit though, still hopes it dies soon and we never have to worry about it again.manic_depressive13 said:
It's not possible that this will go through.
The LIberals and 2 other parties are against it, and if the Libs go against it, then law DENIED!

Is Australia really run entirely by old, willfully-ignorant Fascists? Because it really sounds that way.
It gets worse we got chav equivalents too, they're called lads. There's still hope though I'm pretty sure it hasn't been passed yet.individual11 said:
