King Hazza,

The Greens didn't fit with the Dems either they have/had very different policies. You are becoming aware of why I don't support any party. I support policies.

Formersnag,

I'm not offended, I simply have a view that doesn't accept political parties or their group think. For that reason I support or reject individual policies. I also don't accept argument that are selective and one sided or based on political ad hominem. I try to the best of my ability to be objective, take in all the facts then come up with a conclusion.
This article did none of the above.
As a general broad view I am my version of a secular humanist.

BTW off topic,global dimming? you should read more scientific data. It's the difference between weather and climate change. Global warming isn't going to effect the whole world in the same way. You should read some of the latest satellite data.

Examinator,

I am not clear on what actual policy you support.

Do you support:
a) Complete unfettered access to the net,
b) Filtering of illegal child porn,
C) filtering of all porn,
d) filtering of porn and all other inappropriate material as decided by a secretive government appointed panel.

Because Conroy is pushing option d)

Given the tepid, politically correct drivel served up to us as news and current affairs on the free to air channels, it would appear that free and non politically correct expression is not long for these shores.

I don't care who is responsible, but this toxic bill being fed to us under the guise of "protecting the children" is the most serious threat to our democracy since WWII.

Shadow Minister,

Most are aware that d) is the policy that is being pushed & regardless of the policy, any of those multiple choice will be an invasion of our civil right's.

It is always the governments excuse to hide behind religion & children, as they go hand in hand for the religious child molesters, whilst they feed a wall of lies to go with the underhanded secrecy that is actually being implemented with the uttermost anti-patriotic measures of suppression against the public.

Kevin Rudd is a Catholic that insists on removing children from their parents & this is just another way to remove the onus of responsibility from the parents & have his dictatorial measures of control implemented.

Religious child molesters will always be religious child molesters. They think & breath the way they do & no one has the power to stop them as long as they control the major seats of politics or power, constantly forcing their measures of suppression & dictatorship. Rudd not only learned Chinese, he inherited their suppressive mentality as well & has worked hard to impose their culture on this country.

This is a good article from Nina. Too much control of the internet by any government gives them way too much control over what people are allowed to know and think.
The way governments govern without revolution is by convincing the people ,that something while not popular, is good for the country or the people as a whole. If they talk about how it is necessary for long enough the people start to believe them and they will grudgingly accept it.

Where is our secular Western government ? Why are there so many people of strong religious beliefs wielding political power. Ideologically, what is the difference between a person of strong religious belief and a priest . Absolutley none. They will both attempt to pass religious laws through government. Yet the law only prohibits clergymen from running for parliament.
