I have to say, I wouldn't be completely surprised if the Government completely railroads this onto the Australian people (that is a Krudd favorite), but I do think they very seriously underestimated how much this would piss off the public. Every major ISP is wholeheartedly against it (if on technical and cost reasons alone, but many also on ethical grounds), the general public is very strongly against it, and along with EFA, ISPs, etc I don't think it will be long before the internet business community (picking up on the strong groundswell of public support) like Google, Yahoo, etc really get behind the push to stop it. Krudd the born again seems set on it though, and unfortunately not many people really understand the kind of personality he has, so who knows... If it goes through though, it will never be rolled back and constantly advanced, of that I am sure. So get behind the push now, even if it is only a $10 donation or a single email. Fuck this Government.
