The "clean feed" legislation continues to be treated with the contempt it deserves. Australia's largest ISP, iiNet, has signed to up trials to explictly show how broken it is with Michael Malone describing Ministry Conroy as "The worst Communications Minister we've had in the 15 years since the [internet] industry has existed", describing the proposal as "useless, inefficient and ineffectual". Watch the minister squirm like a stuck pig from some serious questions from Greens Senator, Scott Ludlam. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hasimir provides an excellent EFA analysis of past and present proposals. A much cleaner feed has been achieved with a provider responsible for 75% of the world's spam knocked offline.
Let me go on my favourite economic rant for a minute: Land tax improves productivity. Land tax increases rates of employment. Land tax increases the quantity and quality of buildings. Land tax cuts the cost of goods and services. Land tax reduces tax bill of workers and capitalists. Land tax reduces the environmental footprint. Land tax reduces tax evasion. I am prepared to explain to anyone who cares to ask why this is so; and now Australia, courtesy of Treasury Secretary Dr. Ken Henry is about to adopt it with some gusto.
Went to Kerry Greenwood's booklaunch for Murder on a Midsummer Night in Yarraville this morning, which was well attended; the Santa and Elves acapella advertisement was amusing. On other writing topics, I've had a slower past few days on NaNoWriMo; now up to c30,000 words. Have also written a review for Middle Earth Role Playing for RPG.net which should go up soon. Playing MERP on Friday night, will be running RuneQuest on Sunday night, have created new scenes for Powers & Perils and HeroQuest PBeMs (none of which, regrettably count towards NaNoWriMo).
