iiNet: Conroy misrepresents our filtering stance
Printable View
And I still wonder why people trust this guy to give us a filter that works.
As I said before, the guys a stooge. He can't even get his facts right, so what makes me believe the rest of the bull**** he has told us is true? Not one iota do I trust this guy, never have and never will.
I actually did notice this story on www.news.com.au
This just further proves our point at how deplorable Senator Conroy's conduct is.
When I had read that he had stated that 85% of Australian ISPs were in support of the filter, I had to laugh as yet again another example of misused statistics had just been employed.
Anybody with half a brain when it comes to I.T. in this country would know that 85% is a load of poop, the problem is the vast majority of the populace have little understanding of I.T. and are subsequently unable to make a proper informed opinion.
I hope that iiNet's stance on this issue is followed by other misrepresented ISP's as this sort of poor performance needs to be reprimanded.
I can only imagine how long it will take before Senator Conroy's department's servers are hacked again and the actuality of this farce is plastered all over his department's site.
I see it listed on the News.com.au main page, however the link for the story doesn't appear to be working.
Did find an alternative link for it though:

Could be. :p
Updated version of the News.com.au story:
Don't claim we support filter, iiNet tells Conroy
The URL changed. I've edited the post with the new URL in place of the old one.
iiNet have also issued a press release:
iiNet does not support Conroy's Internet Filter
Wonder what the old Con will say about this press release, probably more lies :p
