I was going to write another massive rant about how the Government's desire to impose a mandatory filter on the Internet for every Australian user is going to ruin everyone's lives except paedophiles.
But then I realised that would mean I had two posts in a week that used the word paedophile in them.
Oops, too late.
Anyway, this week the super secret list of banned websites may have been leaked. Even if it wasn't, the Government wants whoever is responsible arrested, because they want to punish people for linking to sites on the list while never telling anybody what is on the list.
This is, of course, crazy developing world craziness.
So instead of a substantial post, I'll just ask you to turn your monitor off for a few minutes to get a feel for how fun the internet will be if this crap happens.
Have a good weekend!

Governments will often leak a report or proposal (float a balloon) to see how the public will react, before making an official announcement.
If it sinks like a lead balloon, they can abandon it quietly without incurring the wrath of the public if they had gone public.
Me thinks the list leak was one of these balloons.

I hope - and suspect - you are right sir.
This review provides the opportunity to make an excuse and never mention it again.
But we still have to work hard pouring lead into the balloon.
