Why is a free internet important? Australia has no free speech protections. Politicians can introduce laws regarding restricting any material. Minority, conservative, special-interest groups can influence the government to ban harmless fun. Our censorship board bans legitimate material to pacify these groups. Everyone just blindly follows. In my opinion this wastes time and money. This is my line in the sand.
BACKBENCH MPs on both sides of politics opposed to the government's internet filtering proposal are vigorously lobbying their colleagues, creating a potential roadblock to the plan backed by the Communications Minister, Stephen Conroy.
