Cross Border incidents happen to the best of people. Australia during East Timor conflict...
The first incident was apparently due to the local Indonesian authorities persisting in the use of 1933 Dutch maps and the Australians using more recent Indonesian maps. The Dutch map indicated that the Mota Bicu river formed the border. However, the 1992 Indonesian map used by the Australians showed the border as being 500 metres to the west of that position. Apparently, the Indonesian map reflects a post-1975 decision to make the border a fixed provincial border not dependent on the river as a landmark, with the result that as the river changed course over time and as the villagers moved with it, the village of Motaain would shift its location from East to West Timor and vice versa....
Immediately I spotted the SQL Queries being made by the Flash SWF as part of the query string to the server-side. The Flash client makes queries which are hard-coded in the.swf (this is dumb as it means SQL Injection is effectively a 'feature' of the store).
You could easily alter the query string to show the hashes stored in the MySQL users table. I figured out the version of MySQL was 4.0 (Debian Sarge) - and the hashes in this version are very weak, cracking them would take less than a couple of hours.
MySQL was listening on a remote port, so one could simply log in remotely and run queries or dump the database slowly so as to not be noticed.
There's no "You can't block that, it's political free speech!" kind of laws.
To quote myself:
[...]many of Australia's rights are "implied" in the constitution and exist merely through the High Court's "creative" interpretations. Such as the implied right for Political speech in Australian Captial Television Pty Ltd v. Commonwealth (1992) which was also extended in 1994 in Theophanous v. The Herald And Weekly Times. Australia also took an active role in 1948 when drafting the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights in 1948.
Unfortunately, many attempts to introduce entrenched Human Rights into the constitution such Lionel Murphy in 1973 and 1985 with the Federal attorney-general have failed before they even reached the stage of a referendum.
And if you compare it with other countries which do have explicit rights, it all comes down to how the courts interpret it anyway (Just take a look at the US). Mind you, I think even ethically I don't see why blocking access to anything from a corporate network is bad, in today's highly networked world it's hard to argue you're depriving anyone of anything and with even high profile sites being targeted by malware and hackers you could even argue that the company is blocking an infection vector. Think that's unlikely? Just the other day the Australia Greens Party website had an SQL validation 'problem' with it's electorate search...
This is a Term of Service addendum for third party viewers which connect to Linden Labs Second Life grids, it has nothing to do with the code itself, you can still use it on someone elses services if it does not comply.
Typical kdawson FUD.
You forgot to mention the House of Representatives and it's main role and how it differs from the Senate. The House of Representatives is just as important as the Senate with more power in regards to what they can legislate on.

Nah, they only do action.

Neither the Greens or all of the Independents support the filter. He does not have the numbers.

You can in the UK apparently...

While you could argue that because it is two big companies that doesn't make it a monopoly...

It's important to remember this is only applicable to one Australian State, New South Wales, and is not National.
Not that type of 'civil', Civil Law
It's civil law, you don't have to prove it "beyond a reasonable doubt".
Stop being so dramatic, that's not going to happen just because Conroy disagrees with them and said some barely nasty words.
I live in Victoria and as far a I know there is only one electoral commission in Australia and that is the national one

Unless the protocol used is resistant against replay attacks, like most encryption protocols.

The graphic featured as the Australian plug is the Chinese plug, though it's compatible with the Australian one AFAIK.

What you and I are saying is much less important than the fact that you and I are talking. Against traffic analysis, encryption is irrelevant.

Nice to know we have such great editors like kdawson who always keep their eye on the ball.
The issue use to be iiNet's supposed caching of said content. Possibly to do with this patent?
