Bourkie

Stephen, some basic questions for you: Why is the scheme shrouded in secrecy? Why don't you answer our simple questions with factual answers? Why has the Labor party been censored and only send out vague pro-forma stock-standard replies to specific questions? Why do you ignore all expert advice from both within Australia and abroad? What peer-reviewed evidence do you base the _need_ for censorship on? What peer-reviewed evidence do you base the supposed _effectiveness_ for current censorship technology on? Why do you take advice from biased lobby groups because they receive funding from the government? Why do you assume people will believe you when you say you will only censor 'illegal content', despite the fact there is no judicial oversight of the censorship process? Why do you assume that technology will one day, even in 100 years, be fast and accurate enough achieve your policy goals? These are simple questions a child has the mental capacity to answer, yet you continue to avoid or refuse. Be a real man, not a coward.
