    This was farcical but he has stood down as consumer advocate for the talks and will no longer attend.

    Re: Re: Aussies

    AS far as I know the internet blacklists haven't made it far at all and it has been pretty quiet on that front for a while from Senator Conroy's office.

    There are reports stuff is going on behind closed doors but I don't believe anything has been prepared for a vote yet in regards to passing those laws.

    I will agree with censorship Boards but that likes like changing soon as well and we may well be getting an R18 classification for games in the year future.

    Even with all that i still believe we are a lot better off in Australia han USA in regards to freedoms and losing civil liberties. Although with the closeness our two countries have politically it seems anything US Govt decides our politiians seem to follow blindly no matter what the consequences are.

    As an Aussie tell me again why USA is land of the free?? Since 9/11 it has become anything but the land of the free where it seems liberties are being lost every other day.

    I wonder where the MPAA/RIAA would be if instead of wasting billions in lobbying Congress they used it to "innovate" and create a bette business model.

    Who am I kidding they would never do that.

    Iron man is great

    I saw it yesterday at lunch time andit was awesome. Only other decent superhero movie of recent years has been batman begins. I didn't know the Iron Man story at all but was always going to see this and am glad I did. It has even been getting good reviews in local press here in Australia as well and that's saying something.

    Never played any GTA game and am not about to now.
