Banned hyperlinks could cost you $11,000 a day

Sydney Morning Herald (Oz)

The Australian communications regulator says it will fine people who hyperlink to sites on its blacklist, which has been further expanded to include several pages on the anonymous whistleblower site Wikileaks.

Online civil liberties campaigners have seized on the move by ACMA as evidence of how casually the regulator adds to its list of blacklisted sites. It also confirmed fears that the scope of the Government's censorship plan could easily be expanded to encompass sites that are not illegal.

How much is 11,000 roobucks in real money? Fixer who? Never heard of 'im, mate!

Anybody seen Bush lately? Could he have headed Down Under to shred another Constitution?
