STORY IS FAKE.
Aussie here, I have access to wikileaks.org right now from my Sydney-based ISP. There is no internet censorship in Australia as the idea is politically dead for now.
Yes, it wikileaks was added to a blacklist, one that is used by government employees at work. Basically no one uses that list.
Submitter 'mcantelon' needs some banhammer for fake stories.
- angusgr 16y agoThe story is correct, the headline is misleading. The article says it's on the ACMA blacklist, and if you link to a site on the blacklist from an Australian website then you are eligible to be fined. Whether anyone has since been fined for leaking to Wikileaks, I don't know. If/when our abomination of an internet filter idea comes in, then it will become blocked by the filter. I think 2013 is the soonest anyone thinks that will happen.
