May as well put it “out there…”
I just sent this to the Prime Minister of Australia, the Hon. Kevin Rudd, via Email Your PM:
Opposition to Sen. Conroy’s Internet Censorship scheme and to his cynical behaviour
Mr. Prime Minister,
Let me state my clear opposition to the proposed ISP-filtering legislation.
I am opposed to this scheme on technical grounds. I have 25+ years of
experience in the IT industry and can say with certainty that it CANNOT be
made to work effectively in the face of determined opposition to its
presence.I am also opposed to the attack on freedom of information and freedom of
expression that it represents.I find the sneaky way that Sen. Conroy has orchestrated the process to get
the result he wanted, and to avoid public oversight nothing less than
cynical, abhorrent and anti-democratic.I expect more from the ministers in your government than the sort of trickery
he has displayed.I voted Labour in the last federal election but I place my support according
to my evaluations of the issues, not the parties involved. On this issue your
government is looking to lose a vote.I have also contacted both Sen. Conroy and Shadow Communications Minister
Tony Smith to register my feelings on this.I look to you to bring sense and leadership to this matter.
Regards,
BOB
Via GetUp, I have also sent similar messages to Sen. Conroy and newly appointed Shadow Communications Minister, Tony Smith.
Why don’t you do the same!
