Professor Catherine Lumby's paper on the proposed australian government's mandatory internet censorship legislation.

For a goverment which on its election made so much noise about making 'evidence-based' policy decisions (as opposed to the naked ideology of the previous mob, particularly in its declining years), Senator Conroy's decision to impose his 'cleanfeed' filter on the Australian Internet is a deeply disturbing sign. There's much that must - and will - be said about this pointless, futile, and undemocratic filter over the coming weeks and months, no doubt, and Catharine Lumby's piece in The Punch and Google Australia's statement today are a very good start.

Australia now has no emissions trading scheme thanks to the liberal party and their new leader, bully boy catholic zealot tony abbott.
I apologise to the rest of the world for the behaviour of these and other australians who do not believe in climate change science. They are going to kill us all with their ignorance and I am very sorry!
