I’m so glad I voted Greens. Although Ludlam could be doing a MUCH better job. I hope he keeps at it though.

I wish they would get conroy on some tv show along side a geek, but it looks like the mainstream media wants this control over the net too.

That’s pure political crap, he’s been caught out and he can’t fix it so he will just ignore it and hope it goes away. Well it’s not going to go away, office workers in Australia are across this issue already thanks to SMH and NEWS.

Scott you are doing a fantastic job on this, keep it up, and hit him where it hurts, and somebodythinkofthechildren.com is a nice place to refer people who are interested in our moronic government and their insane stance on this issue.

We know that Rudd is a control freak, but control the internet? What is he thinking? He and Conroy both deserve smackdown come the election.

That’s not even dodging a question, it’s being asked one and wandering off in a daze.

Stevian: That’s exactly how I read it. That, plus “And I expect Australia’s ISPs to save me by telling me what to do and how to do it.”

The reaction from the other senators was interesting, good to see some opposition – or is there normally that level of murmuring and jeering during question time?

My God, politicians are a bunch of strange people indeed. It reminds you of old High School debates, just without the paper throwing. They’re all children, and we are letting them make decisions on our behalf? Can’t we halve some people in there with some real life experiences?

I still call for Conroy to be sacked. He is not taking on any concerns, he just wants to drive forward his views.

The guy is an idiot seriously, he’s a fool who’s lived a very sheltered life and want’s us all to be there with him.

I will not stand for this censorship Conroy. I will help anyone I know bypass your draconian measures. I invite you to go move to Iran NOW and never step foot in a free country ever again.

What a complete waste of 7 minutes. Nothing was said that hadn’t already been said over and over.

We, the taxpayers, pay politicians to waffle on like this?!

Argh, Conroy is an idiot! He isn’t taking anyone’s concerns into account at all, merely reading prepared speeches that spout pro-filtering propaganda. Did anyone else hear the laughter going on, and the obvious support for Senator Ludlam?
