dissapointed Australian
the thing that really gets goat is the point that not only are we the only place in the world that has CAPPED internet which in my opinion is a completely unfair discrimination to australians when the rest have no download limits and no caps as well as cheaper pricing but now they are wanting to control what we choose to see?? i find this disturbing. the fact that the internet is a free resource and should be accessible to any human worldwide and now Australia wants to "net nanny" the whole internet because some people haven't taught ethics into their children or couldn't be bothered looking after their children because they are two busy making MORE so they can get government handouts and live off centerlink (maybe the better solution would be to give families free copies of net nanny instead so that can choose if they want to allow their children access to the internet or not) i think the first thing to do is fix up Australia's pityfull excuse for internet so its inline with the rest of the world FIRST before trying to make it worse and control our rights like they did in china. we are after all Australians and we should be free and be able to be proud to be living here and know that we are up to date with the rest of the world and not still living in the 90's with sub par services. there is a saying IF IT AINT BROKE DONT FIX IT well in this case IT IS BROKE SO FIX IT get us the quality we deserve and pay a super premium for! and then maybe finally the Ameicans will stop laughing at us Suckers down there in Australia!
