May this incoming shitshow be blocked and dismantled by the high court challenge.
I'm genuinely shocked it hasn't been postponed/fizzled like the supposed blacklist was in 2008/2009.
Didnโt Anonymous hack government sites in retaliation and scare them into backing down? Or am I misremembering?
I remember that controversy happening but that was a while ago
Someone leaked the lists. I don't think it was a hack. The conversation turned into "why is this random dentist being blocked"? "Who is making these lists"? "How do you get unblocked?" Etc
The government was half-hearted about the whole thing anyway, only toying with it for Family First. It fizzled after.
