Australian Considers Outlawing Spam

Posted by michael on Tuesday April 15, 2003 @11:43PM from the get-medieval dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Sydney Morning Herald has an article on spam down under. I guess it goes to show that if something that bothers us also bothers enough politicians then something may be done. Interestingly, the article discusses international co-operation wrt spam. Good thing too. With only 2% of the global economy, it'll take more than Australia to beat the spam problem. Perhaps someone should send a 'group letter' to all relevant politicians in various countries to start co-operating? :)" Update: 04/16 11:56 GMT by H : There's another article on the subject as well, running in The Australian.

Yes, and French considers outlawing English while German consider outlawing Budweiser and Chinan consider outlawing money.

yes and then we could send off Hans Blix and his merry band of village idiots to find the spam.
