Personally I think this would be an unfortunate move. The more the
government has to do with all things Internet the bigger the mess
they make of it.

Our online censorship regime already makes us the butt of jokes around

As you're probably aware I'm not at all pleased with the outcome of
AUDA's public consultation, but at least they try to understand the
issues before making a decision.

Vested interests: None, except a distrust of authority in all it's
ugly incarnations and an intense dislike of being gouged by monopolies.
