Labour's Fabian Socialism is dangerous for this country and needs to be put to a stop as soon as possible.

They've overstepped the boundaries to what is acceptable.

This is a dangerous movement towards authoritarianism and they need to be stopped.

Really? To me it seems like a foolish idea they initially didn't realise was technoloigcally unfeasible (Liberals did the same, though they realised earlier). The only party which actively promotes net neutrality is the Greens (who are more left than Labour) so I can't see what this has to do with where the party stands politically, let alone how it relates to socialism (but you call everything socialism, so...).

I think we just have to wait and see how long it takes Conroy to wake up to this fact. He's an absolutely horrible Communications Minister.

Socialists are pro-nanny state.

They claim to be listening to vocal minorities but in reality they have the philosophy that government knows best.

They couldn't care less about your complaints because they are a bunch of commie thugs.

It looks to me like somebody needs to beat you within an inch of your life with the clue stick, mate.

If you are liberal and you are offended by my post then I am glad I did my job.

I don't like arguments about technological unfeasability, because while true, they don't address why it's wrong.

Which was the more subtle point I was trying to make: of the three main political parties in Australia, only the Greens are morally opposed to Internet censorship.

Update:

- All 5 Greens senators are opposed to the Internet censorships scheme.
- Senator Nick Xenophon says he is increasingly unhappy with the proposed filter for speed, accuracy and civil rights reasons.

Conroy's only chance now is for the Liberal party to support them. Chance of that? Buckley's.

Surely the Coalition were always much more likely to support this over the Greens.
