More and more I'm finding myself agreeing with Rod's perspective. Some of you
people really need to get your eyes away from the net for a while and notice how
little heed most Australians take of it.

For starters, most Government bills, Federal and State, pass without any mention
in the mainstream press.

Before or after the Bill being passed, Censorship (generally) is not a
significant issue for most Australians. And yes, that really does mean that
things will have to get really stupid before they get any better.

For those of us who've been WiReD for some time now (pun very deliberate) you
have to remember that even if net use is as proportionate here as in the USA,
here it is not a market of critical mass. That means that corporate media here
do not see attacks on the net as attacks on them.
