Looking at the usual demographics for Labor and the Greens and their usual level of political awareness the Greens got the better deal here (largely by dint of not being one of the Big 2 1/2), though the bigger than usual protest vote factor will make a difference.
As always the best way to go is to vote how you want and put down your own preferences. Or just vote informal if you want to protest with your vote, but be aware it also 'wastes' it.
Q&A with former Communications Minister, Michael Lee: On ISP filtering and browser history data collection (I see Lee is using typical Labor language)
Censorship: Labor's hidden policy (Lengthy, but well worth reading and forwarding on to others who may not be aware of the policy; article kills a lot of Govt's arguments)
More delays to filter plan
Not surprising at all. I think the Australian public is a lot smarter than the government takes them for.Quote:
