While I welcome the government using online tools, such as blogging, to canvass people's views and to connect with the public, I am totally opposed to mandatory internet censorship. Driving internet speeds down, raising the cost of internet connections, and opening the door for future governments to control the internet is abhorrent.

Senator Conroy, if you want any goodwill from internet users, then drop your proposals for creating China-style internet censorship in this country. We might then look more favourably on your other initiatives, such as this blog.
