Thought I'd poke this little musing in. I suggest Dave *not* use this as
a topic of conversation; he may find his audience polarised a particular
way :-)
The Northern Territory passed some legislation legalising euthanasia.
(top google hit: http://www.globalideasbank.org/creend/CRE-14.HTML -
because I'm too lazy to find a *good* article)). It was quashed by the
Federal Parliament.
I believe it was a specific topic of debate in the Federal Parliament that
sites discussing euthanasia would be covered by the mandatory filter, as
it is *illegal*. That leads to the interesting question of whether these
links:
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ant.gov.au+euthanasia&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.debian:en-US:unofficial&client=iceweasel-a
would be filtered!
I wonder if the Federal Government's squishing of the Territory's
government still rankles...
Yours,
