Infiltrator

Access. We need to get cheap (sub $10 per month) unlimited (not capped, time limited or anything else) internet available to the whole country. The country is left behind all the time. We need to change people’s view of what the internet is. It is NOT a kiddie’s playground. It IS the greatest library humanity has ever attempted. It’s the repository for all humanity's greatest highs and lowest lows. We have to make sure that these benefits are open to ALL Australians, without stomping on the rights of those that wish to research illegal things. Then search for knowledge is not illegal, and should not be. The misuse of that knowledge is. The government should NEVER censor the internet, but should POLICE it. Remember, if you don’t like the content, you can always turn it off. We have to make sure we don't have any organisation like the Office of Film and Literature Classification dictating what is applicable to view. Always remember, this organisations original mandate was to CLASSIFY all film and Literature. Now they also Ban (by the use of Classification RC, Refused Classification). Any organisation that is designed to do good for the public (by informing them of content) can be easily turned to evil (to restrict information based on their, moral viewpoint) as in the case of the OFLC. We have to remember that researching something criminal and DOING something criminal are two totally different things. Researching criminal activity is not illegal, should not be illegal and should be freely researchable whereas the use that knowledge should be illegal and treated as such.
