Anti-Stephen Conroy website back online
A website that was taken offline by the domain name regulator .au Domain Administration, is now back online and continuing its protest against the Government’s internet filtering policy.
The site Stephenconroy.com.au, which takes aim at the Communications Minister Stephen Conroy for his policy on what it deems as internet censorship, was taken down by auDA at the end of last month less than two days after it went live.
At the time, questions arose over the swiftness of the auDA’s move to shut the site down.
The domain name had been registered by Sapia Pty Ltd. It responded by quickly returning online under the domain stephen-conroy.com.
“The Government has been widely criticised for its policy”
Does anyone else find it ironic that the most vocal supporters of freedom in this instance are from the left of politics — people who by and large are completely ambivalent to it in other, far more dire, circumstances?
Maybe, in a further twist of irony, I should start an online petition telling Conroy to include web activists under the ban. I’m sure I’d get his ear.
I have comments from AuDA if your interested: http://itnews.com.au/News/1638.....faces.aspx

“supporters of freedom in this instance are from the left of politics — people who by and large are completely ambivalent to it in other, far more dire, circumstances?”
Alanis Morissette would agree with you on this one.
I think you have your left and your right mixed up… Don’t worry about it happens to us all at some stage or another.
Anyone who thinks the Rudd govt. is ‘Left’ has a serious head injury. IMHO they wouldn’t even be considered centre-left.
An attack on our freedom is an attack no matter if it is from the left or the right. For your information, the political spectrum is not linear, it’s circular, so the far right and the far left eventually meet. Both are extreme and a threat to our freedom!
This now links to a scam site by the looks of it. Perhaps remove the appropriate a href tags?
Hi Jewizz,
Thanks for picking that up, we’ve removed the link.
