Today I was present at the launch of the ACT photonics industry
strategy. (This is a fascinating story in itself, which I will discuss
on aus.science in due course.)

One of the speakers was Tony Staley, Chair of the Australian Photonics
Cooperative Research Centre. He is also a former Minister for
Communications and former President of the Liberal Party.

Bearing in mind what Senator Alston thinks he is trying to do with
control of Internet content, something Tony Staley said isn't going to
go down well in his party. He said he likes the Internet "because no
bastard can control it, no government can control it".

Cheers
David
