US-Australia Tensions Rise Over Net Filter
daria42 writes "Tensions between the US Government and its counterpart in Australia appear to be rising over Australia's proposal to filter the internet for objectionable content. The US government has raised its concerns over what it sees as potential censorship directly with the Australian Government. However, last night, Australia's Communications Minister Stephen Conroy denied he had had any approach from US State Department officials."
Where women don't shave and men chunder...
Agreed. The USA needs to be more direct, as clearly their current approach isn't working if Stephen wasn't even aware until he read it in the paper.
I would love for the USA to make as big a deal out of this as possible.
Invasion. p/.It's obvious hat Australia is controlled by a repressive regime and we have no choice but to invade and install a Democracy!
Of course! We just have to make politicians live in the real world! I wonder why no one's thought of that before?
No folly is more costly than the folly of intolerant idealism. - Winston Churchill
That's obviously because China is a repressive dictatorship, whereas the US and Australia simply want to protect their citizens from harmful material.
