Don’t forget that on December 13 there will be net censorship protests across most of the country. Might be a good networker as well.

So is anyone here going? It wouldn’t look good if this flopped.

Heath, judging by this post on the Whirlpool forum the protest turnout should be pretty good.

I’ll take the camera to the Brissy one. Get some snaps, interview a few people.

I’m going to the Brissy one and I’ll have my vidcam with me for interviews. Also, I’m taking my kids. Any ideas for good slogans for them to carry?

None in Cairns as far as I know, and it’s a bit much to travel to Brisbane. Hope it’s a good turnout in the capitals.

I’ll be at the Brisbane one with bells on, and bringing as many friends as I can.
@ Cameron – It’s great that you’re bringing the kids. I think the rally needs as diverse a mix of people as possible, to show the government that we’re not just a bunch of perverts and hippie cranks.
I’m considering using slogans along the lines of “Education, not censorship” and “$40Million for a placebo”, but would also welcome suggestions or constructive criticism. It’s kind of hard to pack the multitude of reasons why compulsory filtering is a bad idea into a catchy slogan.

And don’t forget to Slip Slop Slap, and bring plenty of water, everyone. XD

It looks as though there may be somewhere in the region of about 2,000+ attendees for the Sydney event (as listed at the moment) and that’s only going by those who have a Facebook profile and who have flagged the Sydney Facebook event page as either “attending” or “maybe attending”.
I added myself to “maybe attending”.

[...] you are into protesting of the peaceful kind, why not consider attending your local internet censorship protest. I will be at the Brisbane event. You could come and say hi, but that would be kinda creepy. Plus [...]
