For those of you in South Australia, there will be a meeting this Tuesday to discuss what you can do to fight the Internet filter.

The Federal Government plans to introduce mandatory internet
censorship, at the ISP level, for all Australians in 2010.

There is overwhelming opposition to the Government’s proposal from:

The IT and Telecommunications industries, the Right to Know Coalition, the Australian Librarian
and Information Association, child welfare groups such as Save the Children, major online
content providers like Yahoo! and Google – not to mention the Liberal Opposition,
Nick Xenophon and the Greens.

Street protesting and online campaigns have raised awareness in the online community.
Now it’s time to really step up the pressure on the Government and convince them that they
could lose votes, or even power, if they introduce this legislation.

Join other activists and concerned citizens to discuss lobbying techniques and
help develop a coherent, ongoing strategy to ensure Australia’s Internet access
remains open to every one of us. Your thoughts and input will be appreciated.

To be held in the Harry Medlin Rooms, Union House, Adelaide University
Tues March 2nd, 6.30-8.30PM
Meet from 5:30PM in the Cloisters to eat and network before the meeting commences
