Australia Cracks Down on Gambling Online

yabada writes "The Australian Federal Government is renowned throughout the world for its stupidity when it comes to regulating internet content. According to our illustrious communications minister, Richard Alston, due to his tough stance against porn on the internet Australia is now "porn free". So is it any wonder that the Government has turned its eyes on gambling and has now achieved a one-year moratorium on online gambling pending a ban. The news story can be found here. When told that people could still access unregulated gambling sites offshore the minister responded by saying that people wouldn't go offshore because they wouldn't want to pay the international phone charges....hmmm."
