.XXX Given The OK

[Ms Naughty]

Tickler, no word on whether she's going to dump the filter... we're all hoping there's a ministerial reshuffle and Conroy gets the boot. It might happen, fingers crossed.

One good thing about Julia: she's not a bible basher. She took an affirmation oath when she was sworn in. This is a major relief.

I do hope AVN is right and .xxx is not a done deal. As you say, how can they be allowed to charge that much money to protect intellectual property? Bastards.

Well as Diane said in an email to me the other day, Lawrey is severely pissed that they have to go through a review of their "sponsored community" which they will probably lose, and the approval of the GAC(Government Advisory Committee) again, where they were rejected before.

Might have something to do with me calling them out about that.

Or maybe my ICANN post about the viability of their business plan, which was referenced in the ICM paid Executive Summary above.

As far as the Aussie filter, I've been reading various news articles that Conroy is rapidly losing party support because there is an election coming and all the politicos want to be elected again.



BTW, does anybody want sponsor IDs for ICM supporters.
