Stephen Conroy's mandatory internet filtering plans have earned him the title of Internet Villain of the Year at the 11th annual Internet Industry Awards.
The Internet Villain category recognises individuals or organisations that have upset the Internet industry and hampered its development - those whom the industry loves to hate.
As Australia's communications minister, and supporter of one of the world's most ambitious internet censorship plans, Senator Conroy beat out tough competition from the likes of the European Parliament and French President Nicolas Sarkozy

No political interference in GetUp ban: Qantas
Fran Foo | July 14, 2009
A QANTAS executive with close links to Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has dismissed suggestions that he personally barred an anti-internet censorship advertisement from airing on flights to Canberra.
The commercial, devised by lobby group GetUp, is part of a campaign dubbed Censordyne, a parody on the Sensodyne brand of toothpaste.
"With Censordyne the government can decide what we can and cannot do online," actors posing as government officials say in the 45-second commercial.
It also features so-called government internet technicians in laboratory coats rubbing Censordyne on cables to block net nasties.
GetUp wanted the ad to run on all Qantas domestic flights into Canberra during the next Parliament sitting so politicians would realise that the federal government's mandatory ISP filtering scheme was flawed.
But last week, Qantas said no to running the ad as it was categorised as political in nature.
"The ad was deemed as political advertising. We have a long-standing policy not to run those types of ads," Qantas's government and corporate affairs head David Epstein told The Australian yesterday.
Internet censorship plan gets the green light
The Federal Government has announced it will proceed with controversial plans to censor the internet after Government-commissioned trials found filtering a blacklist of banned sites was accurate and would not slow down the internet.

Senator Conroy is a stubborn bastard, could well cost him his seat come the next election.
Kitehigh, that's in total contradiction to the report on ABC Radio's "PM" programme this evening where examples were given of the inaccuracy of the filter, e.g. a dentist's and a landscaper's websites being filtered out as 'unacceptable content".Internet censorship plan gets the green light

It's not just pr0n that will be shut down if this interfering legislation is passed:
All content from Phillip Nitschke's "Exit" website (voluntary euthanasia) will also be wiped out.
It troubles me to say it given my long history of being on the other side in various conservation versus development battles, but I just might vote Green in the next election.Of course Family First are thrilled with it. But the Coalition are withholding judgement, though now that Abbott is in charge they will probably give their support, given his religious bent. The Greens are opposed to it. So the passage through the Senate is not yet assured.

Labor - Outright socialists with a few rather disturbing non-democratic tendencies.
Liberal - Religious fundamentalists who no longer grasp the concept of a free market or personal freedom.
Which leaves the Greens as the only party with any worthwhile ideas, even if I disagree with many of the other things they'd likely do.
It reminds me of that 1970's quote regarding a certain industry - better to be poor and healthy than rich and rotten. Or in this case, better to have a lower standard of living and retain some freedom than to lose it all in pursuit of money.
Smurf voting Green? A decade or two ago I'd have said there was more chance of me landing on Mars than voting Green. But with the other two major parties essentially imploding in terms of worthwhile policies, the Greens are becoming the only mob left standing who could foreseeably actually do something (anything) useful without taking our fundamental rights away in the process.
Here's something to consider Smurf

I know for a fact that this is both impossible & impractical.In that report, the good Senator Conroy (I'm being sarcastic in case anyone doesn't know) assured Australians the filter process would be corrected before final application.
NBN wont actually make anyone's internet faster unless they trunk directly into main cable OR the government sorts out how to get the fibre connected into the required power module that is to be installed at the network boundary point in each home. I wont hold my breath.Oh yeah, since your hardly thought out NBN, means no more network upgrades, so that means no ADSL2 for me till God knows when, even though I live 10km from the 5th lrgest city in Oz..good one Conroy, u turd
