Thank you Minister Tanner for the opportunity to provide views on government policy. I look forward to see what effect if any these have on minister's views. Providing a blog for the public to interact with government is a step in the right direction and indicates the government may be indeed more progressive and aware than its predecessors. However Minister Conroy's Internet censorship proposal belies that. He is obviously unaware of what the Internet is, the nature of the problem of child pornography and of the deeper implications of censorship. All he is succeeding in doing is generating support for an Australian Bill of Rights. Perhaps Minister Conroy could legislate to solve another problem for us all. As no one can exactly decide what the value of pi should be, why not just mandate it to be 3? Yes, sadly, it is that ridiculous. Lets see if this government and these ministers can learn anything for the feedback. There may be hope yet.
