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!"

    Let's not forget that this is the minister who said that broadband was only for games and porn.

    I for one welcome his replacement.
