Recently there has being a rather large movement of people towards spreading the information about what I think should be known to everyone who has an internet connection in Australia. If nothing is done, the Australian Government will implement a nation wide internet filter. With the “save the children” ploy and being targeted at the ignorant masses, this can have a devastating effect on the quality of the Internet in Australia and freedom of information available to people. This filter not only has shown to be ineffective in trials, it will also slow down the internet by around 70%. The “black list” wont be available to the public, and there is no known reason or why a web site can make it to the list, other then the fact it is not deemed suitable for Australian viewing. There was a black list leaked which contains several harmless sites including a Brisbane dentist and a school canteen along with several youtube videos.

We are staging a city protest tomorrow, at 10AM outside the Casino! Please come along and check it out and bring your friends! Spread the word. There will also be another protest in March.

This really isn’t a step in the right direction for any freedom of information/speech! So take a stand, and help spread the word. If nothing is done, within two years this filter will take place without any vote or consent from the Australian people. Bellow is a video from the website containing information about “Project Freeweb”.
