[ NNSquad ] Australian Internet Content Restrictions Spinning Out of Control

[Lauren Weinstein <lauren@vortex.com>]

I'm by no means an expert on Aussie history, but somehow I get the
feeling that if Governor Darling were alive today, he'd be rooting
full-bore for the ever more alarming Internet control and ultimately
censorship regime down under, that is now showing every sign of
spinning out of control into a Big Brotherish Internet nightmare par
excellence.

This article in the Sydney Morning Herald provides the rather
startling details:

Remember, we're talking about Australia, not North Korea or China.

Waltzing Matilda, indeed.
