| <nettime-ann> Nationwide Protest Against Internet Censorship |
. The Australian Federal Government is pushing forward with a plan to force Internet Service Providers [ISPs] to censor the Internet for all Australians. This plan will waste tens of millions of taxpayer dollars and slow down Internet access. Despite being almost universally condemned by the public, ISPs, State Governments, Media and censorship experts, Communications Minister Stephen Conroy is determined to force this filter into your home. ANAT urges all Australians to join in the protest against the plan. NATION-WIDE PROTESTS: Sat Dec 13 ADELAIDE 12 Noon @ Parliament House http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=39343300875 Brisbane 11am @ Brisbane Square http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=42526399601 Melbourne 12 Noon @ State Library http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=46838735931 Sydney 11am @ Town Hall http://www.nocensorship.info/forum Hobart 11am @ Parliament Lawns http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=39329861995 Perth 12 Noon @ Stirling Gardens http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=42526399601 ANAT supports the safety of children online, but calls for the Australian Government to listen to the concerns of the Australian people.
