Aus. Gov't Considers Fines for Online Suicide Info
downundarob writes "The Australian federal government is once again showing its cluelessness regarding the workings of the Internet. The short article tells us how, under legislation to be introduced this week, corporations would be fined up to AU$500,000 and individuals AU$100,000 if they use the Internet to incite or promote suicide methods. In Australia it is illegal to commit, or attempt to commit suicide."
Someone please mod crypnotic down...

i've been giving this eaten by dingos thing a lot of thought recently. the baby that was stolen by dingos was called azaria and my eight year old daughter has the same name.
this wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't for the fact that we are planning to emigrate from england to adelaide in australia. (any adelaidians out there?).
will my daughters name make her the butt of loads of dingo jokes? is azaria a taboo name? it's going to be tough for her moving to another country without having to deal with that shit.
