For those of you living under a rock lately, you need to know that the Australia government is going to implement mandatory filtering of the Internet feeds into Australia. Exactly like China and Burma already do.

Initially this filter is going to block pornography, child pornography, and terror information; however once it is in place, there is nothing to stop the government from secretly adding more to their Block List. Criticism against the government? People blowing the whistle on dodgy govt deals? Protest plans? All those BitTorrents of TV shows you love but aren't shown on time here?

All these things could be disappearing from your search results like they never even existed, and attempts to access URLs could result in ASIO knocking on your door in the night..

Do you want to let something like this get snuck into law, while we're all distracted by the current financial crisis, and scared by the war on terror?

NO!

You *need* to let your government representatives know this has to stop.

PLEASE look up your local MP, and write them a short letter - if you don't have time to post it, then just write them an email at least! Encourage your MP to work to cancel the plan -- it's already under way now, with live trials on some random ISPs coming in very soon.
Don't wait until it's too late!

Even if you're living overseas currently, if you're an Aussie citizen, you are still eligible to vote here, so make your opinion known to those in power!
It'll only take ten minutes - do it today!
