19 December 2009 (Arbitrary censorship the rule in Australia)

The Australian government says it will erect a China-style censorship wall, censoring a secret list of web pages with no explanation.

Censorship is an attack on human rights. No matter how offensive something seems, that is no excuse for censorship. But this is not the first way that the Australian government has declared itself the enemy of its citizens.
