Government spokespeople generally insist that "they're all hardcore pedophilia" etc, but the issue of which websites are banned has become more interesting since the NSW Police Minister called for websites run by WTO protestors to be shut down. So in order to ward off continuing inquiries from the likes of EFA, the Government is introducing changes to FOI laws. http://australianit.news.com.au/articles/0,7204,5200940%5E15306%5E%5Enbv%5E,00.html cheers, Kate Kate Mackenzie Online Editor The Australian IT http://australianIT.com.au [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
