So it’s been a little while between posts here at Hardinium.
Mitch has leprosy and his fingers fell off so that’s why you haven’t heard from him and I’m dead!

But I better, so now I can start providing you with new updates that you won’t read because nobody visits the site!

Updates will follow.

As far as poor decisions go Telstra, Optus and Primus have all sent out press releases informing the public they support the proposed internet filter.

From what I can gather the three tel-co’s are just getting into the governments’ pocket so they can use the NBN when its ready (National Broadband Network).

I really do wonder if they’ve thought about the impact this will have on the quality of service they provide…

Check out the story on Gizmodo for the press releases.

UPDATE: Gizmodo is running a fairly comprehensive coverage of the issue here. Seems like everyone but the government feels that this is not the answer. Stay informed.

In more political drama today, the Federal Government has released the discussion paper for an R18+ Classification for games.

The discussion paper has taken a long time to finally make its way into the hands of the public. It outlines the negative and positives for an R18+ Classification for games.

Please check out Kotaku’s comprehensive coverage of the issue (they do this stuff for a living and do it more justice).

If you’d rather skip straight to the part where you let the government know you support the idea (or don’t support…) you can do so by going to http://www.ag.gov.au/gamesclassification.

Please make your voice heard on this issue and the previous internet filtering issue.

(Credit must go to Russ for making me post this sooner rather than later.)

In the on-going catastrophe that is Stephen Conroy’s idea of internet filtering, he has released a report on the findings/lack-of-statistics.

I’m pretty sure I’ve made my thoughts on the matter clear but I encourage you to make your own mind up and read the report or a summarised version of it. Gizmodo’s coverage is quite good and echo’s my thoughts.

If you can wade through the political spin in the report you’ll probably come to the conclusion they have left a lot unsaid and not taken a lot of facts into account.

Not gaming related but important all the same.
