Government Censorship
The Australian Government has apparently taken to censoring a website that did a parody of our Prime Minister, iehttp://www.smh.com.au/news/breaking/government-shuts-howard-spoof-site/2006/03/17/1142098638843.html
This is the same government who wants to relax the media ownership laws so that just a few people will be able to own all our television and media without any good reason to do so (other than a few media barons wanting this.)
Apparently free speech isn't an Australian value anymore :-<.

It makes uncomfortable reading, doesn't it.
Do you get any of "Bremner, Bird and Fortune" in Oz? If not, I can recommend their book, "You Are Here".
All the best,
Robin
