Censored

Ladies and Gentleman,

I send you this page link below from Dubai.

It's a twelve point explanation given by the United Arab Emirates for blocking internet content.

You wouldn't be able to see this notice page in Australia, unless you were in the Emirates, and tried to access internet sites which are banned.

This blog does not permit me to attach an image grab of what you would see in the UAE if you tried to access a site which is blocked, censored and banned.

Blocked sites also include innocuous news aggregation website such as - www.rense.com - but do not include anti-Semitic sites such as:http://iamthewitness.com

I trust this message from the UAE is what Australians will have to look forward to under the proposed Internet Censorship laws of the Australian Labor Party. Australia is a harmonization leader in the field of the coming global censorship so citizens cannot fight the coming tyranny of a one world government.

In the UAE, they are open in providing internet a full and frank explanation for blocking sites. In Australia, the ACMA keeps their list of 'unwanted' sites a secret. The ACMA won't even relent to Freedom of Information requests for a list of its banned sites, nor the reason for blocking those sites.

Based on the UAE's banned sites criteria, half the internet will no longer be available to Australians in the future.

I recommend you forward the UAE link below to colleagues. They will be able to see the censorship message in store for them in future unless the Labor Party's creeping police state legislation is stopped.
