Senator Kate Lundy has been blogging about how it was always Labor's intention to have a mandatory national internet filter in place.
Er, this is what your ******* policy actually said 'Labor will provide a mandatory 'clean feed' internet service for all homes, schools and public computers that are used by Australian children' and afterwards this is what your ******* Communications Minister said 'anyone wanting uncensored access to the internet will have to opt out of the service'.
So despite using both quotes to show that all was really rosy in Gulag Australis no matter what those nasty nerds were saying, she's very conveniently overlooked the tiny weeny circumstance that this policy applied to Internet connections to which children, I repeat C-H-I-L-D-R-E-N, had access and ignored the fact that voters have much longer memories and some can clearly recall phoning Conroy's Canberra office and being told that there would definitely be an opt-out facility if national Internet filtering was introduced.
And despite trying to slide out from under the heaped scorn coming from the general public, Lundy is giving her unqualified support to The Great Webbit Proof Fence Lundy plans to advocate an approach that recognises the openess principle but she says she will be bound by Labor Caucus' position on the matter.
I wonder if the senator remembers that it's an Australia-wide electorate which gets to vote her in or out of the Upper House?
