Minister Conroy,
I would like to add my voice to that of those here who disagree strongly with your proposed internet filtering. This is a massive issue that was never canvassed in the lead up to the last election. I recommend you reconsider your position lest you suffer that same fate which befell the former Government after foisting work choices on the Australian people without prior mention during the election campaign or official Government policy.
Australia is a free democratic society and we do not require the Government to control any information based on the internet. Moreover the potential for decreased speeds and incorrect filtering pose a major threat to our economic prosperity, our business infrastructure as well as education and research capabilities.
I strongly urge you to reverse this policy or I will be forced to change my vote to those who oppose this draconian censorship. Thank you.
Topic: We hear you...
