Then when they back away from the data retention bullshit, they may win back the votes of the tech-savvy under 40s...

Thanks for the heads up mate. Nice to see it became an issue big enough to choke Conroy...

@star69 - equating the act of a no-name comedian at a union event with the career-long actions of Tony Abbott is pathetic.
How has Gillard taken Australia 'so far backwards'?
Also, you would be able to downvote if you actually contributed something to this community.


I'm pretty sure he's referring to Gillard's comments re: libs attending the Allen Jones speech, castigating them for not getting up and leaving... In which case, the situations are analogous.

Data retention?

Compulsory internet filtering?

Two policies that forever damn Labor in my eyes. Two policies Gillard has not canned or dropped. I keep hoping Malcolm Turnbull get's up as leader of the opposition and wins the next election, but Abbott hasn't committed to pushing the fascist nanny state yet so I'll roll the dice on him...

Happy anniversary! Today marks year number 4 since you first became a Sifter and the community is better for having you. Thanks for your contributions!

Very nifty profile pic.

Fixed and thanks.

I recall a 'hamster wheel' style device in a playground in NZ that was about 6 feet in diameter and made of planks of hard wood...
One slip and you fucked yourself up good and hard. Good times.

Dude, I remember that thing! Spent most of the afternoon trying to do a 360 with my friends when we were little.
