'Save the Net' II



The Australian Federal Government is pushing forward with a plan to force Internet Service Providers [ISPs] to censor the Internet for all Australians. This plan will waste tens of millions of taxpayer dollars and slow down Internet access.

Despite being almost universally condemned by the public, ISPs, State Governments, Media and censorship experts, Communications Minister Stephen Conroy is determined to force this filter into your home.

ANAT urges all Australians to join in the protest against the plan.

ANAT supports the safety of children online, but calls for the
Australian Government to listen to the concerns of the Australian
people. There are technical issues. There are free-speech concerns.
