Conroy to keep pushing mandatory ISP filters

Communications Minister Stephen Conroy told the ICT leaders debate in Canberra that the Australian Labor Party, if
re-elected, would continue its implementation of the unpopular policy.

"We will bring forward the legislation once we've finished the review [of refused classification guidelines]," Conroy said.

He and the Christian lobby groups go hand in hand on this.

He's probably a member.

I think we either need to see them dump Conroy, or maybe we should
send a message and dump this party.

The other hand, you can download as much porn as you like but it won't
be any faster than it was back in 1999

Thankfully every voter in VIC has the ability to boot Conroy out at the next
election:

and you can do it by not changing your desired party voting preference.
Makes me want to move to Victoria.

Im still on 512 / totally unlimited. I cant change to anything else
faster or I face an incredibly steep price hike and ridiculous

The fact that in 2010 (thanks to Telstra) we still have download
limits/ shaping (basically the same thing) pisses me off even more
than the relatively low speeds.
When I have a relative in an area outside of a major city in Russia
who gets 8mb (with no limit / no censorship / download as many movies
or songs as you want without hearing endless crap about "piracy") for
$20 US a month, (I wont get started on other things like water/power/
grocery costs that are a fraction of here) we here are an absolute
joke and living in a delusional fantasy land. Actually cable TV is
only $5 a month too for a minimum of 60 channels.

Yep, my Brazilian colleagues are gobsmacked when they come here on business
and stay at one of the top hotels in Perth, with *8* TV channels available.
When I go there, to a relatively remote city in Northern Brazil, I have > 60
channels even at a moderate hotel.

I'll be voting against him, let's hope everyone else gets the message.
Unfortunately FAR too many vote above the line, so he'll probably get back.
