The Internet Filter is DEAD!!!! Yay

[babycat967]

i hate politics but i like you and your voice and your blogs there brill

[THEGHAC]

what if i farted ?

[babycat967]

@THEGHAC it would stink lol

[ilovedaftpunk55]

Free internet filters would be a good idea. It would be easier for people.

[Viking790]

what kind of websites are banned? Anyway you can just use vpn or a good proxy, the speed might not be that great. but it works.

[wombomb2000]

the internet in oz is already fillterd, theres heaps of shit we cant see. fucking australia is going down hill.

[nblack02]

perhaps they didn't tell us because if they did, everyone would visit the sites before the filter was put up, thus defeating the purpose

[MrDoublehappy]

The Witch is dead and Nessie is found at the bottom of the BP Gulf rig ... wow Graham!!! its all like a dream this weekend ........ wake up Graham wake up your pants are on fire and Mr Wolf is at the door with your Pizza #LOL

[IWentInsane]

YAAAAAAAAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAYAYA more documentingreality(dot)com!:):­):):):)

[aussieidentity]

Graham, you still haven't added me on MSN. :(

[walaowow]

It doesn't really matter if the filter happened. Tech nerds like myself already have ways that will stick the middle finger up to the government, spit in their face and say FUCK YOU. You will NOT take out freedom away.

[joseffy121]

what if the liberals dont win?

[GrahamAndFriends]

@joseffy121 then the libs will block the legislation

[nazzzz94]

but isnt J.Gillard keeping the fibre optic network project going ahead with it while Tony.A will scrap it?

[GrahamAndFriends]

@nazzzz94 yes sadly, but they have another plan which I am note sure of.

[ZOMGitsDouchebag]

@GrahamAndFriends They also have another plan for filter which involves legislation which is punitive and will listen to the religion people in the end and call it 'majority opinion' c'mon Graham you can't be so feckless as to believe liberal propaganda. Remember Fossil Creek?

[chrisjewell40]

@GrahamAndFriends

Lab are going for true fiber aka 100+MBit

Lib are going for a little fiber and mostly copper aka 12MBit

I know what I will go for even if it means proxying around a filter.

[HardbeatAcolyte]

It's about time, yay :D

[fyshy1]

LOL ur funny Grahame... :)

[miyor123]

i love you chubby man

[garagecrap]

Seems like it don't matter who you vote in because they can change PM anytime and go other way. think that just happened actually.

[SmartmanChris]

@garagecrap Remember that the voters never actually choose the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is chosen by the Governor General based on who can form a stable government.

[SmartmanChris]

What always intrigued me about witches, is why they couldn't just cast a spell to put out the fire when they were being burnt at the stake.

[Malkaking]

its still to early to think that its a trap i know it is and weve been lied to before so yer dont cout ya chickens b4 they hatch pollis lie just to get votes

[Shashanounou]

I'm just doing what Graham says at 1:44 : Hey Ho the witches is dead! =)

[EssentialPedagogy]

Screw the Liberals and screw Labor.

Everyone should vote for minor parties for the Senate such as the Greens and the Australian Sex Party. Don't trust either of the major parties because they always change their minds on everything or come up with their own bullshit.

Before the last election the Liberals wanted to fine anyone in Australia who uploaded LEGAL porn to the internet to the sum of $200 000! Don't trush either of em!

And don't forget the Lib's sedition laws in a DEMOCRACY.

[SmartmanChris]

@EssentialPedagogy Due to the preferential voting system, if you vote for the minor parties in the House of Representatives, you always end up voting for Labor or the Coalition parties. It is only in the Senate that a vote a minor party has any real effect.

[EssentialPedagogy]

@SmartmanChris

Voting for a minor party in the lower house though should send a message when they see how many votes went to minor parties and how many seats the major parties won due to 2nd, 3rd or whatever preferences.

[yoyayoya101]

Why would they ban a website without telling you that it's banned. It would suck to constantly try to pull up a website but it won't come up and you don't know why.

You also seemed to be really, really, really happy that the Internet filter is gone. What exactly can you watch now that makes you so happy...? (Do not answer that question)

[EssentialPedagogy]

@yoyayoya101

Probably because the filter would take someone internet savvy about 5 minutes to bypass and they don't want them to go through the list and go to the sites.

[Sephilocke]

What exactly would the internet filter block, Graham? What sort of content?

Well, regardless, I'm going Liberal.

[EssentialPedagogy]

@Sephilocke

Child porn.......... which is rarely ever found on an open website. Porn in general. Sites on euthanasia. Sites they think go against community standards (wtf does that mean?). Basically anything the government of the day doesn't like.

The real reason they want to do it is because information is power and the internet is the biggest collection of information in human history. Can't have us peasants with that power can they?

[GodlessManitoban]

China lowered their filter too.

[hotlavatube]

Yaaaaaay! I think WikiLeaks released a copy of the australian blacklisted websites a while back.

[quakertownjackass]

I am a Christan, i believe in open internet..

[HappyCabbie]

This is a great day for porn. I love it

[quakertownjackass]

@HappyCabbie Cabbiee!!

[BlooditeDrakan]

fuck YES! :D

[kiddsock]

Good for Australia.

Keep on YouTubin!

[GretchenDawntreader]

yay for a free internet! Very glad for you and all you Aussie folks.

[luke666808g]

@anotherclicheddesign I'm not worried about the porn, but if politicians were allowed to, every country would ban wiki-leaks, or anything else that was a PR nightmare for the government.

[dmstealth]

Labor all the way.

[luke666808g]

LoL, the Liberal party are the guys who fuckin came up with the idea in the first place.

[xdcRt]

No they won't win. We win. Freedom.

[unraveledtree]

yes now i can look a dirty shit on the net and not get in trouble

[77Aussie]

Still can't buy my vote. Maybe if they ditched phoney Tony and every other sitting Liberal, changed the party's name to the Happy Smiling People's Party, and made free-love as the number one policy, then perhaps I'd consider them. Nah, still wouldn't.

[luke666808g]

@77Aussie I'm voting One Nation

[77Aussie]

@luke666808g I'll be casting donkey votes until the Sex Party merges with the Shooters Party and we finally get the one party who'll represent all of us - the Sex & Guns Party.

[AIDSinfectedSQUIRREL]

That's a relief.

[cinematicobsession]

im voting liberals for sure

[amund94]

finally Aussies don't need to store so much porn anymore..

[qotsaandsoadfan1]

@amund94 are you having a cheap shot at us aussies? i like porn..you like porn whether you are willing to admit it or not..and anyway i agree with your comment because mini harddrives are overpriced :P

[amund94]

@qotsaandsoadfan1 I never said i didn't enjoy porn. I think every guy at least and many women as well does. Even the Christan conservatives.

[MonaroDoorslammer]

To quote a well known eighties BBC comedy show:

"Nice video, shame about the song!"

But seriously, I'm pleased that sensibility has not been lost. Time they focus on the real issues of the day, not faffing about on the internet. That's our job. :D

[turdbug]

now all the ausssies can wack there weezles lol but for real i agree with u

[HostileCupcake]

None the less, i wont vote for Liberal, not as long as my ass point to the ground. Never done anything for the working class man, so why vote for them now just because they try to appeal to 16 year old kiddies on the internet dont want the filter. Honestly, another tactic Liberal is pulling out to try to get the last minute swinging voters.

[ike111111]

no my evil plan to rule over Australia has  failed >:(

[Techlology]

Winning video is full of Win! 

[difflock77]

you have fun......keep it up

[themvsmevsu]

The witch is dead! Yay!

DO NOT LET THE INTERNET FILTER COME BACK ALIVE.

[Doomedlight]

FINALLY! :|

[AussieVlogging]

Yeew
