You have to be extra cautious now writing on the Internet!

I just read this on the local paper's website.

This means you are now liable for writing anything on the Internet, if
it can be clearly proved in a court of law it is defamatory. You can no
longer hide in cyberspace. This decision has ramifications for
those in Australia and beyond and now proves that the
Internet is no longer where you can hide anonmyously

Others in Tasmania rise up against Internet censorship.

Yes others here are taking up the fight against current regulations related to commenting on the elections of March 20th. I do hope it is successful after all there is another major event planned later and that will be national.

Well it isn't as boring as I thought!

I spoke too soon. Sue Napier has quit politics due to illness and shall not
be a candidate in the upcoming election on March 20th. This leaves a
big hole to fill for the Liberals. I always liked her honesty
and it truly is a pity that she has had to walk away
from politics because of the recurring cancer.

It can be very tedious these days.

Any day now the Premier will go to Government House and then his government will go into caretaker mode until after the March 20th election.

Although the poll has not been officially called yet, electioneering is in full swing both in the electronic media and in print. It will only get worse. I have already made my choices and will not be swayed by this rather tedious advertising blitz.Also there is supposed to be a Federal election sometime later this year. No wonder the parties go into debt after these elections.
