I'll be honest, if it comes in I'll never be moving to Australia, not just for lack of prons, but if a Government can just randomly say "No, can't look at this/that" be fucked if I'm living under their rule.
I like having choices and the freedom to exercise those choices without some stuffy old politians deciding something is bad.

Isn't this like setting up fucking Gestapo again? I think Australia's quite fallen behind.

That. The Simpson's episode with bart ringing Australia and the prime minister floating in a rubber ring in a mud hole sums up the entire country. The only thing it misses is the hatred for aborigines.

I don't hate anything, it's just general dislike for people/places/things.

not as odd as figuring out that "rooting" has nothing to do with gardening.
