As an international students i am not really following the australian politics and I don't know any member's name; and I am not really interesting in politics. However I know that the Australian government want to censor the internet and that the Australian system is a Democray. In a democracy the main idea is that people should be free to express what they think of a government in supporting or criticising it so that the government is aware of the public opinion and the internet is a great tool in terms of communicating messages. Even in campaigning, the representatives should freely reveal their view concerning the political environment through the internet.As adults we are mature and we are supposed to be intelligent enough to make choices concerning our political view and concerning what we want to support adhere or criticise in life therefore the most resourceful tool which is the internet should not be censored. Moreover, as Australia is democracy censorship goes against fredom of speech. On the other hand it is true that there are many things like child porn on the internet and this kind of website are really chocking for young eyes but here comes the parent's responsability to teach their child how to make a good use of the internet.


I have already signed an e-petition, nothing really formal in fact it was an email that I received from a friend and I added my name at the end to say that I was ok but I cannot figure out what it was about. However real petitioning enables the public to make formal request to the parliament. The Queensland Parliament introduced online petitioning in 2002 and these petitions submitted in electronic format are referred as e-petition and information about e-petitions is available on the Qld Parliament website www.parliament.qld.gov.au/petitions
But as an international student I could not sign one.
