The government treating the internet like it does movies and TV is turning the whole filter and censorship issue into a farce.

An open letter to Senator Stephen Conroy from a concerned parent! – Atomik Soapbox.

Nick Minchin is a climate change sceptic apparently.  Previously, it turns out, despite overwhelming evidence, he was a sceptic towards the dangers of second-hand smoke.  How the hell does this clown get elected?

Senator Minchin’s stance flew in the face of voluminous reports by the US Surgeon-General, the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council, documenting nicotine’s addictive hook and the serious health risks for people exposed to secondary cigarette smoke. Even the US and British tobacco companies acknowledged the health hazards from passive smoking in internal corporate research documents from the 1970s, obtained by the US congress and placed on the public record in 1995.
