damn straight!

i like australia. i think we are 'the lucky country' as is so often heard around these parts. we have great weather, great countryside, great people. we have all extremes, desert, rain forest, snow capped mountains and sandy beaches. we have densely populated cities and sparsely populated countryside. you have choices in australia.

however, there are things i don't like. in particular, a government which is attempting to censor it's people, in particular our access to the internet. all of this is under the guise of 'but won't somebody think of the children!'. it has gotten bad lately, with the south australian government banning (and then due to pressure rescinding) a policy banning people from making political comments on the internet unless their name and post code was listed. wtf?

oh, and there is a movement to ban pornography with flat chested women because they could look underage. this is not a joke, they are trying to pass this as legislation.

i'm not normally one to talk politics, but the nanny state mentality in australia at the moment is seriously worrying.

but all in all, i wouldn't live anywhere else.
