Wikileaks posts absurd list of Australia's blocked internet sites
The "child pornography" excuse used by the Leftist Federal government is shown to be a fraud. ACMA is just a would-be Gestapo. "Gestapo" is an abbreviation for "Geheime Staatspolizei" or "Secret State Police". Judge for yourself whether it fits
"The cornerstone of the Federal Government's nationwide internet filter, a "blacklist" of over 2000 websites to be blocked, has been leaked online. The list of 2395 websites was leaked by website Wikileaks today about 11am (Qld time), a website which itself was this week added to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) blacklist for leaking a similar list of censored websites in Denmark.
According to reports, up to half of the banned websites on the list are not even related to child pornography, but include entries in online dictionary Wikipedia, single links to particular YouTube videos, euthanasia sites, the website of a tour operator and a Queensland dentist.
The current list of banned websites stands at 2395, but the [NeoFascist] Government hopes to eventually expand the list to 10,000 sites Australians will be prevented from accessing.

If you Google "Wikileaks", you will find a link to the report on their front page. I could give you the link but I am threatened with a fine of $11,000 a day if I do -- even though there is NO pornography on the Wikileaks page

And just who put this Leftist Federal Govt. in place? Don't blame the facist politicians. Blame the people who put them in power! By electing this type of govt, it proves they deserve no better.
I'm shocked - SHOCKED - I tell you that a bunch of Gov't Bureaucrats would try to shut down access to websites without being absolutely sure that the sites contain objectionable material....
I'm trying to figure out why several online poker sites are on there....are these sites illegal in Australia as well?
Apparently they don't even maintain the list....there are several innocuously named sites which no longer exist....
I agree that just some of these site names are appallingly offensive, but that's nothing new, and no guarantee of "illegal" material - unless discussions of illegal activities have now become illegal.
So much for the portrayal of Austrailians as independent, self-sufficient, free thinking people. (See Crocodile Dundee, The Man From Snowy River, Austrailia, etc.) Maybe the film industry will get it right in their next movies and show Austrailians going through life waiting for Big Brother to let them know what they can do next.
Sadly, the U.S. is headed down the same path. We seem to have a simple majority who want a nanny state to take care of them.
Add to above post: I agree that many of the site names are incredibly offensive and there are none I would be tempted to open.
Cencorship, though, is a slippery slope. Especially when those doing the censoring keep their list secret. Just what is it we are not to see?
Government acting in secrecy arouse many suspicions.
Weak people breed strong rulers.
