In my job I get letters regarding a range of issues.
I think it's safe to say roughly half of them are unprintable. The unprintable ones range from bigoted, fear-mongering seniors to locals with a vested interest in taking down a particular council.
I rarely read letters sections in papers, mainly because there are so many views in there that are either offensive or just plain wrong. But everyone's entitled to their opinion.
Which is why I wanted to share this one with you. I find these sort of people the most interesting. They are convinced the world is against them and it's all a conspiracy. Oh, and it's usually the Government's fault:
Want your internet access 87% slower? Want to pay more? Want a “Nanny” state with a top secret list of “Prohibited” material not subject to appeal by anyone? Want over 8% of “Allowed” sites accidentally blocked? Want paedophiles and other perverts to flout the rules with ease? Want a net filtering system more draconian than even Saudi Arabia, Iran and China, and used by no other democracy in the World? Then welcome to 21st century communications in Australia, Rudd and Conroy style. Find out the latest info at getup.org.au/campaign/SaveTheNet

Nice one Kim. Lucky we've got people like you to alert the general population to what's really going on.

Although in the letter writer's defence, the Clean Feed is a pretty stupid idea.

Er, sorry about double commenting, can you delete one please?
I don't think I can delete other people's comments. That would be going against free speech. And Kim would find a way to blame the government for that.
