*shakes head*

I am a 38 year woman from Melbourne and due to health reasons recently was forced out of the hairdressing industry after 23 years… my income now I get from creating 3d products on the 3d virtual chat IMVU.. For the first time in my life I am persuing a career that I LOVE .. and am kicking butt too

What is going to happen to me when this is implemented? .. well I will be on the street… xoxo

What the hell is wrong with these people. Adults are adults and should have full control over their lives rather than being hit with all this crap. Just because you block stuff doesn’t mean someone wont find a way to hack it.

Am I mistaken or wont this just mean connecting to the net via an overseas proxy.
Adds $5.00 to the cost of internet connection.
Seems we are living in a knee jerk society.

Keep on trucking Conroy and Labour. You definitely aren’t going to retain my knowledge and skills if you keep up the pace with your draconian style proposals and laws.

Wow, Conroys Ultimate plan is to Filter the Net and redirect all the Kiddy Porn to His Office, He wants games downloads Banned for everyone Cause its affecting his Ping in CS and he cant pwn Noobs anymore like he did on 56k, That moronic Woman in his office threatening people has watched too much south park.

ANYONE THAT THINKS CONROY MAKES ANY SENCE BUY A 40c Rusted Razor / across wrists Repeat this step until death occurs.

That exemption is the only reason why multi-player games with user-generated environments are possible in this country; without it, it’d only take one game user anywhere in the world to produce objectionable content in the game environment to make the Australian Government ban the game for everyone

go ahead and filter porn and shit like that, i dont really care, but when you start filtering my gaming sites and online stores, you’ve gone too far.

seriously though, this reminds me of wartime controls in world war II, when they tried to pass the communist disillusion bill. I think, even if it gets through the house of reps and the senate, It’s unconstitutional. Breaks the right to freedom of information and in a way (with things like the zombie survival guide which is on the ban list) freedom of speech.

Rallies, petitions, etc seem to have had little effect.

There’s enough of us Australia wide to get at least a Senate rep for QLD, NSW, and Vic, possibly the other states.

Are you interested in forming a party to show them we are serious?

We can do this.

@ Armin: Could happen, if we were not so apathetic and the weather were not so nice.

I wonder if this will cause a flood of Australian internet user refugees to leave the country. That’s if it gets through and is implemented.
