No ‘Super’ Tax
Tony Abbott says something right for a change!!
“This is a bad tax,” the Opposition Leader said during a visit to Tasmania.
“We already have a profits-based tax; it’s called company tax. We already have a way of ensuring that the people get value for non-renewable resources; it’s called royalties.
“We don’t need any new taxes, we don’t need any different taxes, we don’t need anything which kills the mining boom.”
Steven Conroy Announces Additional Protocol Filtering
PARLIAMENT HOUSE, CANBERRA: Today Steven Conroy accepted the mounting criticism that his proposed “Great Firewall of China – Down Under” would be inept at achieving it’s stated goal of preventing distribution of refused-classification material due to only filtering web traffic.
Henceforth, he directed the engineering team to add the GOPHER, TELNET and LIBERAL.ORG.AU protocols to the filter.
When asked to quantify just how much porn was shared over GOPHER, he waved his hand and said “I am not the Communications Minister you are looking for” and promptly left the podium to stunned silence.

Conroy is an idiot
My sentiments exactly. There is no need for an internet filter to slow down the internet and remove our liberties, while not even satisfying the task it was put there for.
