Australian government keeps censoring, and secretly
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the Australian Broadcasting Authority has been doing some internet censoring work for about two years. What's news is that the ABA is keeping the list of bannable materials a secret. This is a new strategy, since Australian censors have previously made their criteria public.
I'm not sure what "censoring" means here - a combination of mandated filtering in public stations, plus police going after ISPs?
This fits into the global movements towards restricting the net -
