Perhaps, someone should start a "technology" party.

I can't believe how crazy the Australian federal government has gotten. I could never vote for this ass-backwards internet and technology policy.

I don't think the name 'Pirate Party' will work in Australia. They won't get any support (financial or otherwise) from any credible organisations. From what I've seen people are turning to the Greens as anti-filtering party.

We're still waiting to see what the Liberals are going to do. At the moment they're maintaining strategic ambiguity on the issue, which means somebody needs to get out there and start convincing them there's more votes in opposing it than supporting it.

Not the same thing. I support and make technology. I think piracy is disgusting.
