Conroy’s Filter approves of Child Rape
Stephen Conroy's Department is 100% behind Novels about Child Exploitation and Rape, so long as it has Religious Context.
I had an interesting train of thought last night and I have collected my thoughts below.
The upcoming Government Censorship filter being pushed on the Australian People by Several Gratuitous Morons within it’s ranks, backed by religious Zealots and people who simply do not understand the technology involved, is fundamentally flawed for many reasons, though this post will focus on RELIGIOUS reasons.
It goes without saying that it would be impossible for Senator Stephen Conroy to ban the Christian Bible or the Islamic Quraan from passing through the filter, there are measures in place to stop the Bible and Quraan ever being placed on the Refused Classification list, as that would be percieved as Religious Discrimination or State Censorship of Religious materials and it would make all of the Christian Zealots that are backing him up, suddenly stop supporting him.
Not many people actually READ the bible, they get preached from it, but very rare is the person who has read it from front cover to back cover, especially the old testament.
Anyone who has read it cover to cover, would realise at several points in the book it shows God, clearly advocating the exploitation of child slaves, the rape of slaves (some of them children), the rape of women, and many other horrible crimes which would be RC if not for their Religious connections.
So, in other words, Stephen Conroy’s Department is 100% behind Novels about Child Exploitation and Rape, so long as it has Religious Context.
So what is to stop other rape and exploitation items getting through the filter citing religious grounds, and exactly where is the line drawn, discussion ON the content of the bible, in particular the passages that contain rape and child exploitation?
It is childs-play to get AROUND the filter, and if it’s possible for websites to be immune from filtration, be they due to popularity (youtube.com will not be filtered) or due to religious grounds… Remind me what the point of the filter is again?
Once again it was seen in an interview yesterday that Stephen was pushing up the “I don’t opt-in to Child Porn” defense.
It is starting to seem as though the old Shakespeare quote from Hamlet “The Lady Doth Protest To Much” is really starting to apply here for Mr. Conroy, his entire rebuttle against any opposing facts against the filter is “So you like child porn?”
It is really starting to look as though Mr. Conroy himself is trying desperately to distance himself from Child Pornography, perhaps there is some element of this in his past/present?
Has anyone thought to take a look through Mr Conroy’s Internet Browsing History?

So This has been an eventful 24 hours, Kevin stepping down and Gillard stepping up will make for an interesting political landscape, hopefully she can kick Steven Conroy to the curb…
Online Privacy
Online Privacy, Apparently a good Joke for Australian Politicians Kevin Rudd and Steven Conroy
There have been a few articles floating about the internet in the last few days discussing the Australian government’s plans for data retention of all online activities.
The Labor Government appears more and more to be playing on the naivety of the general Australian public about these rather technical issues.
With the proposed “Child Safety” government censorship via an internet filter that they are hoping to install on Australia’s internet connections, requires the implementation of a system that will verify your request against a blacklist prior to allowing you access to a requested website. Which means they would be scanning everything we access. The fear now is that they would also be intentionally recording and cataloging those requests in long term archives, which is basically comparable to tape recording and wiretapping your phone 24/7 without a warrant or court order and saving your entire telephone dialogue in a safe for several years just in case you commit what is deemed a crime later…
Of course they were fears put forward by the “paranoid few” which have now come to light as legitimate uses of the filter, with implementation of internet history data retention being investigated by the Australian Government.
So what does it mean for average joe tax paying Internet User?
The key problem is your privacy, your basic human right to privacy, as the world moves more of it’s services online, more of your life will be cataloged and filed for later use by a Government Agency. These neatly formatted and all-inclusive data snippets from your digital life pre indexed with highlights of your likes and dislikes and your political preferences couldn’t possibly be used for evil. Now, conspiracies aside, imagine if this system was compromised by a criminal and all of your private data was laid out for them on a silver platter, no system is infallible because at the end of the day humans built the system and they will make mistakes.
The internet blacklist leaked and it hasn’t even been implemented yet.
Imagine if you are looking for help for a friend who is taking a lot of drugs, you turn online and start doing research about the drug, it’s effects, and how to get off it. Due to your browsing patterns, the automated system places your name onto a “drug activity” list. Now a few years later you are detained at a nightclub for getting a little rowdy, but instead of being slapped on the wrist, the police enter your data into the system and your name is flagged with “Drug Activity”, All of a sudden you take a visit to the police station in the back of a paddy wagon for some drug tests and some nice friendly questions in a windowless room to make sure your drug problem was not the actual cause of the disturbance.
It’s sounds very Orwellian, but it also sounds very Steven Conroy.
For the greater good, protecting the children from harm, we MUST file and catalog all of your internet traffic.
If a system such as this was actually going to CATCH real criminals, it would have some merit. Quite simply it will be just as easy to bypass as the internet filter and in fact it would probably be part of the internet filter that your bypassing. Real bad guys will simply go around it unchecked, just like high school students are already doing. So once again there will be a massive waste of tax payers money, to buy a system that does nothing but destroy the tax payer’s privacy.
In turn Internet users will be forced to privatize their online ventures, silencing free speech through self-editing authors who don’t want to be arrested Anonymity of criminals will be furthered as everyone shifts over to solutions built to hide your identity online, Criminals become much more difficult to track and child exploitation will continue to thrive, even easier than before.
Anyone would think that this government is bored and simply DOESN’T want to be re-elected…
Dear YouTube, What The Fuck.
Dear Youtube,
What the Fuck.
I’ve watched this shit already, I’ve pressed [X] in the top corner of the thumbnail about 10 times now for each of the video’s, it’s not a difficult thing to understand.
SUBSCRIPTION DATABASE:

IT’S NOT FUCKING HARD!
Your Pal, Dave
ABC Four Corners = Complete Horse Shit
Wow, I am so extremely disappointed at how poorly they executed that program, I don’t even know where to start, I sat down with my grandma to watch this and I almost had an epileptic seizure from the retarded graphics they used to cut scenes together with, constantly flashing up pornography and then talking to a room full of kids at what looked like a sleepover and asked them about porn they get in their emails.
NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ISSUE
Also not one bit of my interview made it to screen but they re-recorded a lot of my words as a voice over, missed any of the factual information and just went back to flashing more porn and listening to Christian Lobby Groups.
I’m too angry right now to express how I truly feel about this bowl of horse excrement I just sat through, and if this is the best the media can do, sometimes I wonder why I even bother fighting 
Four Corners
So, I will be on Four Corners tonight, not sure how my interview has been cut up but I am hoping that the majority of my message gets through, it will be interesting to see how they have tackled the issue.
On Monday’s Four Corners, reporter Quentin McDermott reveals how an apparently well meaning attempt by Government to protect children from video nasties on the net turned into a policy that critics say promotes censorship and reduces personal freedom. “Access Denied”, Monday 10th May, 8.30pm on ABC1. Repeated Tuesday 11th May, 11.35pm.
So I was on channel 7 news last night…
I made a presentation to exit interntional yesterday, that ended up on national news, Im pretty chuffed because its getting my message out.
I was teaching them how to get around the proposed mandatory internet filter being put forward by the governmet, It also helped illustraite just how useless the filter really is, and how easy it will be for anyone to get around it.
I also illustraited to them that the filter being proposed constitutes as an illegal tapping of users internet connections, illegal under current australian law that is.
So hopefully some good will come of this.
UPDATE: I’m on screen for about .05 seconds in this one… still looking http://au.news.yahoo.com/video/national/-/watch/18935283
Huzzah Rockbox 3.5 now with USB file transfer for Sansa!
Awesome http://www.rockbox.org/ released version 3.5 of their open source media player firmware, and now it supports USB file transfer FINALLY!
Previously you had to boot the old firmware to trasnfer files, which wasn’t too bad, until you got a microSDHC card, which the original old firmware does not support, but rockbox does, so you could use microSDHC in the player, but could use the player to transfer files onto the microSDHC cards… but NOT ANYMORE!
Woooo… now I have a $20 player with a $50 16GB drive in it, so for $70 I have a 18GB music player, smaller than a matchbox with roughly 15Hrs of constant playback 
AC/DC TONIGHT WOOOO!
Acer Arena, is going to be AWESOME tonight
