South Australian Government Censors Internet Electoral Debate (Shit is Going Down) - Polidicks

I once considered moving there fuck that shit now

[QUOTE=cjone2;19991647]I once considered moving there fuck that shit now[/QUOTE] Yeah, I want to get out of here as soon as possible.

This isn't censorship, you morons. This is a stupid nanny state law, that will probably never be followed through to the extent you hyperactive drama queens think it will.

[QUOTE=teeheeV2;19990463]What about our gun restrictions? I don't care about the dumb fuck who shot up port Arthur[/QUOTE] gun restrictions are good in a country where they're not widespread. in America, they're so widespread that you got to keep them legal.

I don't like where this is going.

Hey do you know what's great about Australia? No constitutionally protected right to free-speech. So if they feel like it they can censor whatever the fuck they want.

Australian Liberals are mostly a conservative christian party as where the Australian Labor Party is more of a liberal party.

[QUOTE=radioactive;19995294]Oh, Terrorists then?[/QUOTE] Yes. Fuck the redcoats, Allahu Akbar.

... Get the manta rays.

Exactly how is this censorship? I read the article, basically anonymous people can't make comments?

Australia needs some reform or revolution.

Kinda makes you wonder what Yahtzee thinks of this. Seriously though, Atkinson needs to fuck off. Get the hell out of office you fucking old man.

Then you add the fact that Australia already has a bad rep for laws, and you get a frenzy of sensationalists making crazy claims.

Hell, it just made people not anonymous when debating on media websites.

No, Queensland is to muggy. I honestly couldn't live in queensland. It seems like a holiday state which it is, it just wouldn't see right... The only time I go to Queensland is to Aunty and Uncle and Cousins. But anyway, I feel sorry for all those South Australians under that idiot... :|
