Unfortunately, Minister Conroy, you personally have no power in stopping the clean feed. Your government has a vested interest in it. The right wing religious components that, chances are, have helped the PM take power, are pushing you into a wall and you, as the minister for telecommunications and broadband, you are their scape goat. If this doesn’t work, and it won’t, your resignation will be in the next day. People will try to say on Blogs and through twitter, and the like: “Senator Conroy puts in his Resignation, free speech prevails”. But by then it will be too late. The filter will be in, scouring and scraping every single transmission any Australian makes. Hunting down red flag words, like we are living in Communist China. And on the government approved news sites, we will see a report: “The clean feed is a success!”, and no one will be able to argue with it. 1984 was a book. It wasn’t supposed to be an instruction manual.
