Here's a really interesting Q&A interview with Greens Senator Scott Ludlam on internet censorship, the NBN, and telecommunications reform. You get the feeling he doesn't particularly like Clive Hamilton. Q&A 2010 with The Greens' Senator Scott Ludlam - Enex, ISP filter, IT jobs shortage, NBNco...

You're a shit Libertarian.

I suppose. I don't envy their chances.

Considering the High Court is probably the next place this will go, and considering the High Court will almost certainly simply decline to take the case, it is pretty much over from a judicial perspective. The judge was extremely meticulous and he maniuplated the media well - it'd be very hard...
