As an "aside" to this issue I notice that Senator Conroy has I believe suggested that compiling the blacklist of sites that should not be visible from Australia may be outsourced to overseas nations - possibly India but more likely China - a nation that has numerous bureacrats with time on their hands - and a ready made blacklist which can be used in the Australian context. There are just 130 staff in the ACMA - although this is set to increase to 140 over time. And to Mr. Kent Dolan I suggest you write to your government and request them to outlaw the Electronic Frontier Foundation (http://www.eff.org) and the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) ( http://www.aclu.org ) - both organisations that have fought for liberty on behalf of the weak kneed in your country. You are not in any way or form a civil libertarian Mr. Dolan. You are a conservative - a died in the wool fundamentalist who considers sex to be wrong and evil and possibly a person who believes that nobody should be entitled to act in their own self defence - or protect their personal integrity from malicious comment that borders on libel. You owe your rights to scribble in Usenet to at least one of these groups.
