Australian IT Minister Alston Replaced

Posted by Hemos on from the shuffling-him-out dept.

srouvray writes "The Australian is reporting: In a re-shuffle of the Australian Federal Cabinet, current Communications Minister Richard Alston will be replaced (Alston is going to retire) with Attorney General Darryl Williams. Alston is 'credited' for introducing tough anti-spam laws into parliament... Although it will be interesting to see if Williams will be branded a 'Luddite' as well!"

  1. Next step for the Australians... by vudufixit · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Should be repealing that ridiculous gun ban of theirs. Many Australians live far, far away from any law enforcement personnel and have only themselves to rely on. The violent crime rate spiked up in Australia right after the ban, because gun laws disarm the law-abiding, not criminals. Let's hope good sense is starting to prevail Down Under.
