Rudds’ Australia: Iran,Australia and North Korea a threat to internet via censorship regulation

 

Media rights group puts Australia on internet watchlist

A top media rights watchdog has listed Australia along with Iran and North Korea in a report on countries that pose a threat of internet censorship.

Paris-based media rights group Reporters Without Borders (RSF) on Thursday put Australia and South Korea on its list of countries "under surveillance" in its "Internet Enemies" report.

Australia was listed for the government's plan to block access to websites featuring material such as rape, drug use, bestiality and child sex abuse. Critics say the plan is a misguided measure that will harm civil liberties by blocking a broader range of content than just nasty material.

 

The Communications Minister, Stephen Conroy, has said he plans to introduce legislation by the end of next week that would require ISPs to block a blacklist of "refused classification" websites for all Australians. It is not clear if the government will meet this deadline; a spokeswoman for Senator Conroy said the legislation would be introduced "after it has been considered by caucus and cabinet".

In South Korea, the RSF report added, "draconian laws are creating too many specific restrictions on web users by challenging their anonymity and promoting self-censorship".

“It’s all about getting the balance right”

"These countries are worrying us because they have measures that could have repercussions for freedom of expression on the internet," RSF secretary general Jean-Francois Julliard said at an internet rights award ceremony on Thursday.

Russia and Turkey were also added to the watchlist, which is a category below RSF's top "Enemies of the internet", the countries it considers the 12 worst web freedom violators.

These include Saudi Arabia, Burma, China, North Korea, Iran and Vietnam.

"The world's largest netizen prison is in China, which is far out ahead of other countries with 72 detainees, followed by Vietnam and then by Iran, which have all launched waves of brutal attacks on websites in recent months," RSF's report said.

A senior manager of US internet giant Google, David Drummond, said there was an "alarming trend" of government interference in online freedom, not only in countries that are judged to have poor human rights records.

He cited Australia's plans as an example, saying that there "the wide scope of content prohibited could include socially and politically controversial material".

The Australian case "is an example of where these benign intentions can result in the spectre of true censorship", he added, speaking at Thursday's ceremony.

"Here in Europe, even in France, at this very moment, some are tempted by this slippery path of network filtering."

Last month, after Senator Conroy called on YouTube to censor videos in accordance with his filtering scheme, the search giant's head of policy in Australia, Iarla Flynn, said: "The scope of RC is simply too broad and can raise genuine questions about restrictions on access to information. RC includes the grey realms of material instructing in any crime from [painting] graffiti to politically controversial crimes such as euthanasia, and exposing these topics to public debate is vital for democracy."

Americans BEWARE Australian internet to be CENSORED by Australian Labor Party

Compulsory censorship for internet.

Daily Telegraph 29 10 08 Pg. 4

THE Federal Government will make internet censorship compulsory for all Australians and could ban controversial websites on euthanasia and anorexia. Australia's level of net censorship will put it in the same league as China, Cuba, Iran and North Korea.

 

The Government will not let users opt out of the proposed national internet filter. Broadband, Communications and Digital Economy Minister Stephen Conroy said the Government's $44.2 million internet censorship plan would now include two tiers — one level of mandatory filtering for all Australians and an optional level that will provide a "clean feed", censoring adult material. Despite planning to hold "live trials" before the end of the year, Senator Conroy said it was not known what content the mandatory filter would bar, with euthanasia or proanorexia sites on the chopping block. "We are talking about mandatory blocking, where possible, of illegal material," he said.

THE Canadian family of the wheelchair-bound man allegedly bashed with a metal bar in an unprovoked attack at a Sydney railway station is stunned by its brutality.

Shellan Proden, the mother of the victim, was horrified to learn that two teens had allegedly hit her 35-year-old son with metal bars before running off with his wheelchair in the 11pm assault on Tuesday.

"I can't believe a human being would do that to someone else," Ms Proden said."It's like a savage."

Relatives later told The Daily Telegraph the family was considering a mercy dash to Australia as the man recovers from his skull fracture at Sydney's Westmead Hospital.

"I just want him home," Ms Proden said."I just want him home and safe,

"I just want to see him."

She has asked that her son's name not be released.

He has been confined to a wheelchair since a snowmobile accident in 2000.In a tragic twist, his father was also killed in a snowmobile crash that year.

The attack, which has made headlines worldwide, happened at the Mt Druitt railway station on Tuesday.

Two youths allegedly bashed the man in the face, striking him with parts of his wheelchair as he lay helpless on the ground in a sickening assault that lasted up to five minutes.

Two boys, aged 15 and 16, have been charged with robbery and assault offences.

The man's Australian girlfriend, Kristin Sharrock, is wracked with guilt.

"He's been through a lot in his life and he doesn't deserve what's happened," she told a Canadian TV network.

"I'm sick to my stomach. He came out here for me and he ended up in hospital. And to think that he could have died."

The victim had been waiting at the station after going out to watch a Canadian band play in Sydney's suburbs.

Some members of the group, Doc Walker, were mates with the victim.

"The band is certainly saddened by the turn of events and we're still trying to find out more details ourselves," band manager Ron Kitchener said.

"The band are aware ... and are obviously concerned about his health."

Hunt for teen after wheelchair-bound Canadian battered at station

A wheelchair-bound Canadian tourist is in a serious condition after an alleged unprovoked assault by two youths at a train station in Sydney's west last night, say police.

Aussie Rock Icon blasts Multiculturalism’s Knife culture…and the “usual suspects” react with the usual slogans and name calling.

The 35-year-old Mosman man - who is undergoing surgery for head wounds today - was on the platform at  Mount Druitt train station when two teenagers approached him, police said.

Do you know more? Message 0424 SMS SMH (+61 424 767 764), email us or direct message us on Twitter @smh_news with information or images.

They "verbally intimidated" him, so he tried to leave by a lift at the station, police said.

But one of the youths allegedly punched him in the face, knocking him out of his wheelchair.

The teenagers then allegedly stomped on the tourist, hitting him about the head and body with metal bars - one from the wheelchair, police said. They then tried to take his wheelchair and belongings.

Police allege the pair left but returned a few times to batter the man with the metal bars again before running from the station.

A NSW Ambulance spokesman said emergency services were called to the station about 11.15pm.

The victim was taken to Westmead Hospital in a serious condition about 11.45pm and was operated on for a  depressed skull wound and cuts.

Mount Druitt Local Area Commmander Superintendent Wayne Cox told reporters this morning that the attack had taken between three to five minutes and had been captured on security video as well as being witnessed by a train station employee.

He described the attack as ‘‘a calculated assault’’.

‘‘It’s one of the most serious attacks I’ve seen,’’ Superintendent Cox said.

‘‘Particularly when you’re looking at a person that’s confined to a wheelchair.

‘‘It’s quite distressing to see these young people come back and assault him on a number of occasions.’’

Police said the man was a tourist, who is visiting Australia on a year-long visa, and had been living in Mosman on Sydney's lower north shore.

He was in Mount Druitt to watch friends play in a band.

A 16-year-old youth was charged with robbery and assault offences today and is due to face Parramatta’s Children Court.

Police are still looking for the second alleged attacker, who they say is aged between 12 and 15 and of Pacific Islander appearance. He was last seen wearing a white long-sleeved T-shirt, a logo on the front and black track-suit pants.

Kristin Sharrock from Mosman, said she met the victim, who does not want to be identified, at a Pearl Jam concert in Los Angeles last year.

They started dating and he came to Australia in November to visit her.

Ms Sharrock said the victim had a snowmobile accident in Canada about 10 years ago and had been confined to a wheelchair as a result.

‘‘He is a wonderful, kind, generous individual. He’s been through a lot in his life and he doesn’t deserve what’s happened.’’

Ms Sharrock said she was called at midnight by police and told what had happened.

‘‘I was disgusted. I can’t believe someone would attack anybody, let alone someone in a wheelchair.’’
Police said they were reviewing CCTV footage of the alleged assault and urged anyone who could assist to phone Mount Druitt police on 9675 0699 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Aussie Muslims support Sharia law: Trad

Yahoo
March 8, 2010,

There's broad Muslim community support for aspects of Sharia law being adopted in Australia, a leading spokesman for the religion says.

However, harsh penal aspects of the law, including stoning and chopping off hands, will never work and aren't being called for, Islamic Friendship Association of Australia president Keysar Trad says.

But personal aspects of the law, particularly those involving marriage and inheritance, would be broadly supported and would offer great help to ordinary Australian Muslims, he said.

Mr Trad's remarks come after Dr Zachariah Matthews, president of the Australian Islamic Mission, made a similar call, saying aspects of Sharia law could run parallel to existing legislation.

Dr Matthews was speaking during an open day at Lakemba Mosque in Sydney on Saturday.

Some non-Muslims in the audience were reportedly left shocked by the speech.

"Most people seem to think that when it comes to Sharia law it's just about the penal provisions, but that's not that case," Mr Trad told AAP on Monday.

"(The penal provisions) can't work here. No serious person would advocate them."

But he said adopting aspects of Sharia marital and inheritance law - in a dual legal system - would be an advantage, particularly for women.

"At the moment it can disadvantage Muslims here, particularly women, because if a woman gets divorced through the normal civil process that divorce is not recognised in Muslim countries," Mr Trad said.

"So they would still be considered to be married elsewhere."

Equally, Australian governments don't recognise divorce documents made by imams, the mosque and community leaders, Mr Trad said.

"These are all considerations that

face all the time and a lot of them support introducing these parts of Sharia law here," he added.

Dr Matthews also said he was not proposing the introduction of wider Sharia law.

"I don't think we are so unsophisticated that we cannot consider a multi-layered legal system as long as it doesn't conflict with the existing civil system," he was quoted as saying by Fairfax.
There are about 340,000 Muslims in Australia, or 1.7 per cent of the population, Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show.
