Australian government admits less than 32% of secret censorship list is related to underage images
WIKILEAKS
Thursday, May 28, 2009
The Australian government told a Senate estimates hearing this week that less than 32% of the country’s secret internet censorship list is related to underage images.
During the hearing, the government also stated that the WikiLeaks publication of the full list in March has now been officially referred to the Australian Federal Police (AFP).
The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) “blacklist” is slated to form the backbone of a national, mandatory, internet censorship system.
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
ACMA admitted that:
- A mere 32% of the secret censorship list is related to a category covering potentially sexually provocative images of persons appearing to be under the age of 18, pages with links to these images or other “child abuse” information. The was politically marketed to the Australian public as primarily a method of preventing child pornography.
- After an unusual delay, the Australian government have now officially referred the publication of the list to the Australian Federal Police. It is alleged that WikiLeaks’ release of the censorship list is illegal under Australian law.
- Subsequent to revelations by WikiLeaks that the secret list contained many harmless or political sites (including WikiLeaks itself) around 150 have been removed from the list. At the time ACMA admitted the list held over 1100 URLs. ACMA now claims the censorship list has 977 URLs.
In light of the Senate testimony, it is worth repeating what WikiLeaks stated when it released the censorship list on the 18th of March, 2009:
- “While WikiLeaks is used to exposing secret government censorship in developing countries, we now find Australia acting like a democratic backwater. Apparently without irony, ACMA threatens fines of upto $11,000 a day for linking to sites on its secret, unreviewable, censorship blacklist — a list the government hopes to expand into a giant national censorship machine.

Wow whee, those whacky Aussies must have heads filled with dingo-shit to allow their gov’t overlords to censor their interbutts. Does the “let’s do it for the chillllldrennnn” argument really work on anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together anymore?
The state of political affairs down under must be pathetic indeed for all this to come about. Looks like the people of Australia are even more pliant and spineless than most amercans. Next thing you know they will outlaw masturbation down there. “Shake it more than twice and it’s a crime…”
LOL

Australia has immigration detention centres. You know who they were built for.
I live in Australia and can’t believe how dumb they all are. So many of them are obsessed with sport. They don’t have their own political or economic opinions, they just repeat what the msm tells them.

JIM – yes and no. Our government is like the U.S., U.K. etc. they DON”T GIVE A STUFF about what we want or think. A petition of over one hundred thousand signatures has been sent to the filthy, degenerate, lowlife, Senator Stephen Conroy
Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy. This piece of work is hell bent on his Hitler mission to, “Chinese style internet censorship”. And, unfortunately, yes, many Aussies have their heads full of dingo crap, they just need to turn the T.V. off for a few days and then the fog may clear, hopefully.

Well Jim, said Spock, you are an illogical forking idiot. It does not supprise me Jim, that you have started to change your way of thinking, by your complete lack of response. Typical american response or spook ( no Comment ) or I’ll sue you, and don’t forget Jim, you gave the world the Babylon of bullshit.
James, Get off MSM
Karen of Australia, and Annie, I Love You and don’t be terrified, They love Fear.
Wez the Aussie & Aussie Rod, thank you so much for the links and to all Australians that are awake to this BS in Politics-Medicine-Energy-etc-etc-etc. There are more here in Australia that are awake then you would think, and when it comes to finding the end of revelations, it’s not that hard when you find out who is folding the cards. Don’t forget, it’s a mind game and it’s after your soul.

here in U.K. msm is completely controlled. The national union of journalists losely controls all of them, journalists are allowed a little bit of rope but if they go too far they are ostracised.
May 28th, 2009 at 5:06 am
It’s not that simple Jim. A lot of things are just done without any public consultation. ‘The whole place is going to the dogs. Those of us who are awake are terrified because there aren’t enough of us to take the rest on. They seem to be in a coma.

well i can tell you most of the Gamers know whats going on. I dont think you would find that many users wanting their censorship, just as most queenslanders did not want flouride put in their water ….I think.
Trouble is you are dealing with lawless governments or people in Australia.
They just dont care what the people want. Best way is to not vote at all.

Hello Jim
This is taking place because NO ONE KNOWS BECAUSE THE MSM DOES NOT MENTION IT. Just like no WMD in Iraq, no Bin Ladin Involvement in 911, no reason to invade Afghanstan etc etc. If the truth was spoken through the so called 4th estate, then people would know, but everyone is caught up in the SWINE FLU, ECONOMIC CHAOS etc etc.
Conroy and co are playing with us, but there are civilain/human rights groups watching this closely.
..oh the MSM just had a report of a cat being rescued from a tree…….sigh.

P.S. I only saw it cause the Mrs. was watching it. The news in Australia, as you would well know, is so ridiculous I simply laugh at it now. THEY ARE STILL HYPING THE SWINE FLU !!! My youngest daughter, at 8, knows it’s to sell Tamiflu and instill fear.

To all here is the “Honourable” Minister’s website contact
http://www.minister.dbcde.gov.au/contact I’m sure he wouldn’t be enjoying his emails at present.

Sorry to keep flogging the comments, but this is one matter that has me FUMING. If you go to the Aussie site http://www.911oz.com there is a link at the top for you to put your name on petition, IT’S THAT EASY, you don’t even have to write a letter. Please though, if you have the time, write the “Honourable” member a direct letter, I do believe it rattles this type of degenerate to be personally hounded.

“underage images”.
Don’t they mean “CHILD PORNOGRAPHY”?
What a load of Newspeak. “Underage images” indeed.
The Jews run Australia’s government, not the Australian people. In other words, it’s a dictatorship of Jews, just like almost every other white country on Earth.
(And these “Jews” aren’t even genetically semitic people – they are a group of Europeans who have formed a fifth column within every country they occupy, always protecting each other as ‘the chosen’, while sucking the blood from the people of those countries.)

“The Jews running everything” is such sloppy argument. Dig a bit deeper. You could perhaps say that Zionists run everything; but even that needs qualifying. The world is far more complex.
I’ve have Jewish friends. The idea that they are involved in this is insulting.

David,
I suppose you think “the Jews” made the Roman Empire, Medieval Christendom, the 30 Years War, and Jesuit Counter-Reformation as well.

His birthday is coming up again-
David 666 Rockefeller will be 94 this upcoming June 12th, and he’s still running the world and bringing into fruition his New World Order. We should have activists including We Are Change hound the old bastard where he lives like they did last year but this time have balloons and party hats and whistles etc. and a big sign saying ” HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANTICHRIST ! ” (Rocky’s birthday is June 12– which is the 6th month, and 12 = 6 + 6, so you got the three sixes, the number of the beast) No I’m not saying he’s the AntiChrist just because of that, Anne Frank and Jim Nabors were also born on June 12th, (yet so was GHW Bush) but put together with the evil stuff the Rockefeller’s have done, the eugenics and making AIDS and causing wars and causing a ‘crisis’ whenever they need to implement a ’solution’ that is always a means to their evil goals etc. Rocky’s main protege Kissinger has often admitted to using crisises and evn causing a couple to push problems to a brink whereby he and the NWO f***sters can have an excuse to act using our military or whatever. His last name Kissinger happens to be one of the evil words/phrases that add to 666 when you assign 6 to letter A, 12 to B, 18 to C etc. Others that add to 666 with that include Witchcraft, Slaughter, New York, Murrah Bomb, Santa Claus, Computer, Programer, Vaccination etc.
I’m going to be doing my own Happy Birthday AntiChrist sign thing with David’s pic on it this June 12th, and I’m writing a letter for the local paper that will point out his evil doings over the years, and how we might as well have made him Dictator For Life back in the 50’s, because We The Sheeple have been going through the same pathetic charade every four years of electing his minions, CFR and Trilateral Commission members, into the highest federal office positions and allowing presidents to appoint CFR etc. insiders to Sec of State and other cabinet positions.
So this June 6th lets raise the sheeple’s awareness to the evil of the Rockefellers and the New World Order by doing ‘Happy Birthday Antichrist’ demonstrations across the country, and if you get enough people in a group to do it in your town then your local news might come film you and ask you for a quote for the nightly news. Tell them how it’s a mock thing that you don’t really wish him well but are there to expose them, that want Rocky and his globalist cohorts to stop their New World Order and we want the ‘Federal’ Reserve Bank to end and our Constitution back—or else We The People must put our foot down and do a lot more than protest. Another good sign to have would be one saying ” THE ANSWER TO 1984 IS 1776 ”
In Honor of William Morgan, a great American Hero
He was a Freemason turned whistleblower who was kidnapped on SEPTEMBER 11, 1826
and then murdered. The bastards also burned down the house of the guy that printed Morgan’s expose’ booklet. Enough people got so disgusted at seeing his murder by Masons covered up by Masonic sheriff’s, judges etc. that they started what became America’s first major ‘Third Party’– The Anti-Masons (google it, and the quote from Morgan on his burial monument) A PBS show about past political parties covered the Anti-Masons and a historian on it said that back then, unless you were a Mason you couldn’t progress into higher political office or the law system or big business etc. The CFR is today’s undue power people secret society like the Masons always was. We need to REVIVE the old Anti-Masonic Party and expose CFR scum whever we can get ahold of them- including Rick Warren the phony christian and CFR member. CFR members ran PNAC and openly wished for their ‘New Pearl Harbor’, then a CFR member Gary Hart said at CFR HQ “Let’s use this tragedy to prop up GHW Bush’s New World Order”, then when people bitched for a 9/11 investigation they offered up Kissinger! But we said no so they gave us a 9/11 Commission which was nothing but a bunch of CFR members! And don’t forget the CFR member Whitman who after 9/11 said ‘The air is safe to breathe” in Manhattan.

Australians are really quite dumb, on average. We have had it pretty good for a while now and everyone’s mind has turned to mush. Australians have no idea about WTC7. But are very interested in sports or our immediate families. We are fair game for the NWO. That sux.
Politics is a very dirty word in Australia, and actually discussing it in public is virtually taboo.
Our current Leader KRudd, is so sycophantically up America’s arse. That he announced his Asian union idea, on the same weekend that the Bilderbergers met. The foreign minister had 30 minutes notice. A wanna-be all the bloody way. Aussies are starting to hate him, thank goodness. But unfortunately, Australia is an Idiocracy.

This Internet censorship thing makes no sense from a technical aspect. Networks are networks, and you can block access to some networks from some networks, but the idea of a network is to connect and communicate, and there will always be opportunity for finding loopholes. There are ways to use networks to go around blockages and connect to other networks where there are no blockages, and use that network to access the network you’re blocked from. The concept is called proxy, and the government cannot real-time find all proxy servers and ban your network (ISP) from serving access to those proxies, especially because one can be made in any country at any given moment. The ‘net is doomed to evolve. Just like copyright pirates keep finding ways to get around new piracy-blocking technology, and hackers keep coming up with ways to access networks even after administrators have patched all the known holes.
