We read that internet censorship filtering is "in pieces", but wonder why Minister Conroy was not spending the time he wasted on this curmudgeonly activity, doing his real job of freeing public broadcasting from its Howard era shackles.

Rather than trying to reduce the internet to the same lobotomised level acheived by Howard with public broadsheet broadcasting, why was adequate funding, end of censorship and the end of commercialisation not instituted for public broadcasting?

Maybe Tanner would have produced a more nuanced approach as to this portfolio, but my fears concerning minister Conroy and his owners have only been confirmed over the last twelve months.

A last minute schmooze of this sort does not impress.
Only concrete action will suffice from now on.
