    So when is this garbage supposed to be put through the legal processes for it to come into effect? All this who-ha about it, and I don't think I spotted a date anywhere.

    No idea. Legislation hasn't even been tabled yet.

    Ah. My guess is then, it will be part of an election campaign, I think we have some coming up soon. Albeit, a bad election topic, with most people I imagine are against it. Would be a bad move on any party.

    I seriously doubt it'll be part of an election agenda considering how much little media attention it's garnered as it is.

    The legislation was pushed back because it simply wasn't ready, it "needed more work".

    Conroy's way of saying he needs more time to pull the wool over everyone's face and/or suck up to some more groups to get them on his side.

    The (laughable) "blacklist transparency and accountability" process is the official reason why legislation has been delayed.

    However, I've heard that the policy is unpopular within Labor ranks, and I suspect this is the actual reason for the delay.

    “I feel it’s very unlikely that any attempt to try and divert Prime Minister Rudd and Senator Conroy would succeed. Firstly, it would be a terrible embarrassment for two very powerful members of the Government and secondly, Rudd and Conroy will feel they have the vast weight of public opinion on their side."
    "they have the vast weight of public opinion on their side"... according to which poll?

    The "poll" up their a**

    I agree, they are not following public opinion, but their own interests. So much for representing the people.
