My Way News - Australian Internet `blacklist' prompts concern
AP reports: "The list in question is provided to the creators of Internet filtering software that people can opt to install on their computers.

Government control of the internet is common in repressive countries, inspired either by ideology (China, Singapore) or religion (Saudi Arabia), but this would be a first for a for a so-called Western democracy. Let's watch this closely.
