Action Alert! AUSTRALIA  NEEDS  YOUR  HELP
		Internet censorship is back with a vengeance, with new legislation tabled by the government on April 21st. The rhetoric of "protecting the children" can not conceal that these proposals threaten our freedom to access and publish all kinds of information, and will do little or nothing towards their claimed goals.

If you want the Internet to remain free, please act immediately to stop these draconian proposals. The Federal Government is pushing through these new laws quickly, so your help is needed to tell the Coalition loud and clear that the Internet is not to be messed with.

For more details, see our information and main campaign pages.

Thank you for reading and thinking - and hopefully acting.
