STOP Australian Internet Censorship

December 16, 2009

Hi,

The Australian Goverment wants to censor the internet with a system that goes further than any other democracy in the world.

We all want a system that protects our children and our community - mandatory censorship of the web will not achieve that aim. It has even been slammed by child welfare groups, who say the filter is "fundamentally flawed" and simply will not work.

I have just sent Senator Conroy and Mr Smith a message to let them know that I do not want a censorship scheme that will waste money, be easily circumvented, miss the vast majority of inappropriate content and encroach on our cherished freedoms.

Can you join me in sending a message to our key politicians in defence of our freedoms?
