The majority of Australians didn't vote for the Rudd/Labor party simply to have them shove down our throats that the government-of-the-day (and the independent politicians with agendas of their own who whole the balance-of-power) collectively know better than the parents of Australia what is good for THEIR children.

Past members of my family didn't fight and die for freedom of Australians during the time of World War 2 and axis forces, only to have Australia turn into communist China with draconian and slipshod media censorship at the whim of a politician who doesn't bother to even acknowledge what the industry (which know better than he and all the other politicians on their ivory tower in Canberra) does know: that this will cripple the broadband network of Australia and is as much of a waste of money as what Howard tried years ago to please _yet another lunatic and out-of-touch independent Senator_ (Brian Harradine) who held the balance-of-power then.

Either you listen to the people or you'll see the end of your government when you follow the road of Gough Whitlam after you all stupidly rouse the mainstream apathetic Australians into continuing to give a damn about the state of politics here in our country.
