Ministry of Information & Culture (The Real Devils) - bsorc - 09-20-2005
Telstra is double faced,
It blocks things for expatriates such as dating sites
but the local dating sites are open, how strange! but who is behind all this
Ministry of information & Culture
No pirated CDs - Confiscate and Give it to their children (not porn coz they use it for themselves)
we cant go to certain websites because its against Australia culture - local dating and crack sites open
True Hypocrites! anyone agree

The reason for this is that blocked site list is semi-outsourced through a US-based (or Canada-based) net censorship company, so they tend to list more English-language than Australian-language sites.
At least as it has been explained to me.
Try irc #brisbane on the undernet to realise the utter, utter futility of blocking anything "dating"-related here.
