Australian Firewall

Just read an insighting post by fellow blogger Ben Ainslie. He writes about the Australian Government's proposal to set up a firewall blocking a select list of Internet sites to the general public. The other day in my PR class we were asked to discuss a current issue in Australia and list the 'publics' affected. After an intent discussion my group chose to identify the people affected by the Government's firewall. We ran out of room on our page because literally every Australian is affected. You may not be using the internet regularly, you may not be using it all at the moment, or you may be an avid browser and regular internet user. Either way, you're internet experience is going to change dramatically if the Government go ahead with this.

Check out what Ben has to say HERE. He gives a really good and easy to understand explanation of what this is all about.
