Dear all,
it is a _very_ sad day for this country - Alston's idiotic internet censorship
bill (subtitled, how to turn this country into a police state) has passed
through the senate with the help of Harradine and Colston. The ALP and
Democrats were unable to amend the bill to get a sunset clause of less than 3
years into it either.
