When a politician says the word 'consultation' I take this to mean a decision has already been made and you want to 'manage' community opinion or limit political fallout. The sneaky way you have preplanned this including 'trials' makes me suspicious. 1. Weve lost the war on terror, drugs, the Murray river, kids-in-poverty and now you want a war on child porn when you are plainly clueless about how the net works and how the average geek will run rings around you. 2. Especially after Howards undemocratic reign, I dont trust you or anyone in Canberra with my rights or freedoms. Sadly such an ill conceived plan is more Howardesque than Labor. 3. If you want me to take you seriously clean up your own backyard, starting with the assortment of bodgey,criminal and incompetent fools that Nsw Labor seems attract in spades. Blogging may remind you that Aussies hate hypocrisy. 4.The biggest damage Ive seen in my lifetime from child molesters was at the hands of the most successful molestation worldwide web - the Catholic Church. Labor spent millions bringing a poor old bloke -the Pope - (someone else who has trouble cleaning up his backyard) to Sydney for some pompous righteousness with police state APEC undertone$-like we can afford that nonsense 5. Ive lost my job with the current financial 'crisis' and I am trying superhard to get retrained in mobile applications and start a business in the much chest beated field of the 'digital economy' and 'creative industries'. But you know what Ive found? We are a backward country. Its actually really difficult to get the programs and training. Plus I live in rural aussie where the net and mobile communications are simply retarded. Information superhighway? Digital economy ? More like a hillbilly lane with a roundabout and an episode of Fawlty Towers. (I am however happy with my tv service on fatscreen) 6. So focus on getting us into the 21st century rather than spending more money on dinosaur Howard schemes and meddling and guessing around the edges 7. Forget fuzzy consultation schemes roll up your sleaves and show us you are serious and not going to send us further backwards. 8. Let me know when you jokers have some hi-tech training schemes happening- I WANT A JOB or else I will see you at Centrelink Senator Conroy.9. Its now near midnight and Im having to stay up hoping for a slight mobile signal to send this off my phone- SIGNED NOT HAPPY
