More than 80 activists packed a Brisbane university classroom on
Monday night, hoping to build on a social media campaign against the
Federal Government’s proposed internet filter.
Last week federal Communications Minister Stephen Conroy announced
the Government would move ahead with plans to force all ISPs to block
“Refused Classification” material.
The material would include sites on overseas servers containing
child sex abuse, bestiality, sexual violence or detailed information
about how to use drugs or commit crimes.
Activists argue the blacklist will also include material that should
be accessible to adults, such as pornography that is legal to possess
in Australia, and information about topics such as abortion and
euthanasia.
