Senator Conroy may not be Santa Claus, but he knows when you’ve been bad! According to our favourite babysitter in Canberra, his planned national broadband network will mean we’ll see an increase in cyber-bullying and other bad behaviour online:
“With the development and roll-out of Labor’s national broadband scheme, we expect that there will be an increased opportunity for bad behaviour,” he said.
“So it’s very important that we try and not wait till the horse has bolted.”
This comes after Conroy’s new Cyber-Safety advisory group met for the first time. What a joke.
Kids bullying kids online because they got an Internet speed increase? They’ll more likely spend their time playing Halo. Is this man serious?

In the Minister’s defence, 12 megabits per seconds adds up to a lot of bullying Facebook funwall spam…

Thankfully, Mr Rudd’s staff aren’t allowed Facebook profiles anymore.

“Yo I hate that kid Jack, let’s send him some really mean emails”
“Nah man, I only have a 512k connection, way to slow to bully someone. Everyone knows you need at least 150kb/s to pick on them.”.
>_<
