Australian Govt Censors Notes From Secret Anti-Piracy Talks

Posted by samzenpus on Sunday March 18, 2012 @06:06PM from the need-to-know-basis dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It looks as if the Australian Government really doesn't want the public to know what's going on in its closed-door talks with ISPs and the content industry. The Attorney-General's Department has applied the black marker to almost all of the information contained in documents about the meetings released under Freedom of Information laws. The reason? It wouldn't be in the 'public interest' to release the information. Strange how the public seems to have a high degree of interest in finding out what's being talked about."

Oh, a slashtard wants mod points so he's going to bash Americans. Fine, you want a flame war, then it's on bitch!
Yes, all this chit chat about the events of a now trivial island with bad weather, worse food, and unattractive people is pretty dull. The history of England was summed up well in the Blackadder series - rich douchebags treating ignorant peasants like shit for centuries.
