Some recent news about this. http://www.google.com.au/search?q=Julia+Gillard+Queensland+Media+Club+internet+filter
It looks like this was the speaking engagement where the issue was raised: http://www.queenslandmediaclub.com.au/qmc/01_cms/details.asp?k_id=249 Is there a video of it somewhere? My understanding is that an internet filter is unlikely now due to the makeup of the lower house. The restricted content list is worth a look; I like how a date descending list ends at 1984. http://www.classification.gov.au/www/cob/find.nsf/classificationsbydate?SearchView&searchorder=4&searchmax=2000&searchwv=1&query=%28%28[cat]=Publication%29%29AND%28[rating]=RC%29 Items like this stand out: http://www.classification.gov.au/www/cob/find.nsf/d853f429dd038ae1ca25759b0003557c/b39146a11506b851ca257671007b327d?OpenDocument While this issue doesn't fit squarely within the statement of purpose of Wikimedia Australia[1], if someone is feeling particularly motivated about it, and broad consensus can be found among the members, WMAu could participate in the public debate via the blog and publish a position statement, perhaps highlighting the disruption already experienced in the UK[2], and raising the issue of images on Wikimedia Commons. 1. http://wikimedia.org.au/wiki/SOP 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_in_Australia#UK_IWF_blockage_of_Wikipedia -- John Vandenberg _______________________________________________ Wikimediaau-l mailing list Wikimediaau-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaau-l
