Remember when I said (and Craig said) Australia was starting to lose global respect because of Conroy’s internet filter scheme? It’s started.

The Aussie Prime Minister Kevin Rudd met with the state premiers this morning; allegedly the response was mixed. I’m hoping it’s in part because one of them said something this:
Kevin, I’m copping so much heat and ridicule for being a member of the political party that wants to implement this misguided Great Firewall of Australia, could you please tell Senator Conroy to stop!? Please!? You’re killing me mate! *whimper*
Hey, we can only hope, right? :(

This isn’t a technology or cute anime story, but I felt compelled to comment on it. Here’s the link to the story, and here’s the comment: Dick Cheney is a war criminal and should be tried as such in a civilian court. He didn’t want to give full civilian court rights to suspected terrorists, but I’m a reasonable person.

I’ve done a similar test to this back in 2008, but I always like to compare my results. In fact I may have done this one before too now that I look at the title!

AdelaideNow is reporting that at 10pm Central Australian Time, South Australian Attorney General Michael Atkinson has:
If we needed any [further] proof that Australian federal and state governments are losing the plot, this latest move by the South Australian government to restrict free speech online with regards to the next elections would be it, and in no way is it more succinctly represented than by Michael Atkinson. For someone with such a cool name, I would have expected more, I blame myself.

Did you know, if you do a Google Video Search for politicians on Google Video Search (well that was a redundant sentence addition), the first result you get is a video titled "Politicians avoiding questions"
I think that says it all, sadly.

Sometimes it’s just so simple for people like Michael Atkinson to pass the legislation he wants. Other times though this dang thing called democracy gets in the way and ruins everything. What’s the point of being able to pass laws if the people the law will effect want to debate? Sheesh!

I wish I’d thought of that, geniusness! Overheard from some American tourists at a Starbucks this morning. They also claim McCain said the United States was founded as a "Christian nation". A legally secular theocracy, I must admit that’s a new one to me John.
Yes Obama has fudged several things and hasn’t been able to fix eight years of horror in one, but I’m still relieved beyond belief.
Kevin Rudd on the other hand…
