The blocked site was from government list, and applied to Optus, Telstra and Exetel (maybe more). There seems to be disinformation in the media about it; the ISPs claim that the government told them to block a particular site, and the government says they didn't. I'm inclined to believe the former.

The guy seems to be unable to grok the concept of a free, open and wild space for the unrestricted exchange of information and ideas that exists outside the realm of government censorship and control.
