AWIA's Official Response to Internet Filter?

[Franki]

Has AWIA submitted/lodged the response with the Department?

Couldn't find it here http://www.dbcde.gov.au/online_safet...age=3&letter=a

oh, comment closed on 12/2. What have my Association been doing!?

Thanks for raising this Franki. The honest answer is we missed the boat on this one!

Not hard to do - I missed its existence entirely at submit time, too
Any idea where it was advertised?

[nebbian]

It was clearly advertised on the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard.'

[leadegroot]

You'd think we'd know to check spots like that by now, wouldn't you?

I also think the summer holidays got the better of us, the timing was perfect: hit them before they are back to work, that way we have less responses to deal with. Was not actually advertised much by the government.

I'm disappointed. Tuna even reminded to make a formal submission. The formal submission was where it would have counted the most.

Ok. Those CERN people have really caused some chaos.

First Gary agreed with Franki.

And now Franki is pointing out what Gary said (without making fun).

I think something has gone terribly wrong in the space-time-logic continuum.

Am a bit disappointed we missed the formal submission. But it has happened now and there is no point stewing. I'd like to know what the next move is from here?

hey I can make a million excuses but you know me: a spade is called a shovel in my world

I dropped the ball plain and simple... hopefully we can move from here and do something positive.

If you guys want to help with a plan B say aiiii and I will hook you up to our motley crew of revolutionaries..
