And if that is not bad enough the US may be losing talk radio.

G'day all,

Unfortunately Australia is becoming more and more like China every day. We now even have a Prime Minister who speaks Mandarin.

Co-incidence? You make up your mind.

Isn't it amazing that starring into the abyss of a possible financial recession that our government can afford to put $44 mil into making it harder for people to become informed about whats going on but getting money spent on something like i don't know upgrading or expanding our hospitals (this would take advantage of our current position of possible recession by stimulating inner growth and taking advantage of our own resources while they are not so in demand off our shores maintaining jobs in these sectors plus improving our health system). Now i live in Perth and i would much rather see this money spent on a hospital on the east coast that i will never use or no one i know would ever use and have to pay an extra $100 buck when i buy a new PC to have a mandatory Censorship program that i could use if i so wish... Both bases covered and no one is really worse off... except that the government won't be able to control what i know about... If i want to know about euthenasia (and since i can't spell it one would think that i don't know much about it ) then i should be able to get as much information about it as i can rather than pieces of hear say said via Chinese whispers...

Those who are more informed make the best decisions
- Someone intelligent

I have submitted there such a comment:

Comments are submitted for possible publication
on the condition that they may be edited.

Hey, administration!

Change the declaration to
~Comments are submitted for unconditional publication
on the condition that they may be edited by POST AUTHOR ONLY~.

And suggest a free human forum for comments
instead of a monkey guest book.

Will see if it will be published..
on any other human forum.

And this is displayed after submission:
~Please note that we are not able to publish all the comments that we receive,
and that we may edit some comments to ensure their suitability for publishing.

Feedback will be rejected if it does not add to a debate,
or is a purely personal attack, or is offensive, repetitious,
illegal or meaningless, or contains clear errors of fact.

Although we try to run feedback just as it is received,
we reserve the right to edit or delete any and all material.~
