Rally against Internet Censorship. 13 Dec 2008
Around Australia, there will be rallies on Saturday 13 December 2008 against the government’s proposal to censor filter the internet. In Perth, this is 12 noon to 3pm at Stirling Gardens – corner of Barrack Street and St George’s Terrace . Nice to see that in Victoria that the rally is planned for outside the State Library.
This video clip gives details of when and where. Rather than only go “rah rah” though, it offers alternative ways to “think of the children” and provide parental guidance and protection for children.

Thanks for this – will need to rearrange my schedule for the day (I think I have 6,000,000 other things on, strange) but will aim to be there!
Hi Kathryn,
Thanks very much for posting the video. And also thank you for getting what I think is the most important point:
“Rather than only go “rah rah” though, it offers alternative ways to “think of the children” and provide parental guidance and protection for children.”
It’s crucial that as many people as possible think along these lines so that we can win as many undecided people as possible, IMO. You may be interested in this article by Gold Coast blogger Danu Poyner, which makes a similar point:

Once again, thanks for posting the vid.
