Target: Federal Parliament
Region: Australia
Web site: http://www.wearechange.org.au
Background (Preamble):
The Rudd Labor government is planning to introduce a mandatory Internet filtering system, which is scheduled to begin trials before Christmas 2008.
The "cleanfeed" system will be mandatory on all ISPs and there will be no opt out. The government will have sole discretion to decide for us what is "inappropriate" web content.
This proposal is a sinister attack on our free society and must be resisted by all legal means available.
