dryfterPerhaps this will encourage some more of my flist to contact their local MPs..
You already know that the mandatory net filter is intended to block illegal/prohibited material.
But did you know that according to the Broadcasting Services Act 1992, this includes content which describes drug use or sexual fetishes..?
I know some of you are on Livejournal communities for BDSM and related stuff.. You realise this will be blocked? In fact, the entirety of Livejournal may be blocked for hosting such content. (I gather Second Life is also considered prohibited, by the way, as it was refused classification in Australia.)
COMPLAIN TO YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES, DAMNIT!
(PS. Which of you idiots voted for the Family First party, anyway? Gah! Why can a party with so few elected people hold the balance of power so often? We saw this last decade with that bloody Senator Harridine too. *sigh* How is this democracy?)
