Censorship in Australia

So, today I went searching through a few of the others blogs I have subscribed to that also deal with censorship, and I was incredibly surprised to see how many people this subject really affects. The biggest story that I found on any one blog was talking about a situation in Australia where the governement is really thinking about censoring the internet. Now, to me, this would be an incredibly bad move on the governments part in Australia. Think about it. The Internet is the greatest and fastest portal through which we can gather information and news. Now, if a government decides to censor things that they dont see fitting. they are cutting off their country quite harshly from a wealth of information that could otherwise take days to get there. This would in turn throw Australia way out of the loop on many major world issues that could impact them.
