Time to stand up.

If you know me, you’ll know that walking in a protest march or chaining myself to a tree is not my thing. In fact I have spent years supporting the idea of, “Don’t vote. It only encourages them.”

But the Australian government’s proposed Internet filtering legislation is so poorly conceived, so expensive, and so ineffectual, that I can no longer remain silent. It will fail to do what it purports to do (protect children). It will cost an unconscionable amount of burned money at a time when this country is sorely stretched for funds. It will adversely affect hundreds of thousands of Australians.

If you would like to register your disapproval, you can join the blackout protest and black out your website or your online avatar (facebook or other pic).
