Dear Fuckin Dickhead (this is for labor memebers)
I am a resident within your electorate. I am writing to ascertain your level of support for the ALP's proposed compulsory Internet censorship plan. On 11 November 2008 the Federal Minister Senator Stephen Conroy announced your government would call for EOIs to trial ISP level internet filtering. Why is the government and your party sponsoring the censorship of the Internet in Australia? Surely you know the tradition of using censorship to attack the labour movement and the ALP?
Is it the intention of your government that it be remembered for implementing freedom of access to information at the same level as the Chinese government, much like the former government is remembered for implementing respect for international law at the same level as the government of the United States?
Please inform me with great urgency:
• What bills or regulations is your government introducing to make the intended censorship of the internet legal? When are these being introduced?
• What policies does the ALP have regarding freedom of speech, and freedom from government surveillance?
• Why is the government seeking to prevent through technology which prevents action, acts which are already criminal and prosecutable by the correct established police and attorneys general?
In replying to me, please, do not spout the party line. I would like a letter which addresses the points above rather than copy and pasted information from the Labor internet dossier. If a reply is not received within 10 working days I will endeavour to contact you again in my attempt to seek answers.
Yours with disgust at this betrayal of the labour movement and its ideals,
Some fag
