What place does censorship have in a democracy?
Censorship is a word with a lot of negative connotations attached to it, as soon as it's mentioned people start yelling out "FREE SPEECH!" and generally just getting their blood up. However is it still called censorship if it's used to stop the distribution of and access to child pornography on the internet? Surely that's just the law? I think in general censorship should not have a place in a democracy but I think at times the lines around what censorship is can get a little blurry and that needs to be addressed.
When will the NBN get to your place? What are the benefits?
According to the NBN Rollout map (http://www.nbnco.com.au/rollout/rollout-map.html?icid=pub:hme:rollout:hro:img) work to install the NBN will begin in my suburb in approximately 3 years and from there it should take around 12 months for the services to be available for use. To learn about the benefits watch the video below.
