		<description><![CDATA[A few questions for the Australian Labor government, Why are you spending millions of dollars on an ineffective web filter instead of fully funding the AFP to catch paedophiles? Why establish a cyber-safety committee if you plan on ploughing ahead regardless of the evidence it receives? Both for and against? Plus, everyone but the biased [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Purported Communications Minister, Stephen CONROY, just wont let up how ignorant he is of his portfolio&#8217;s contents. He just can&#8217;t stop showing us how computer, networking and internet illiterate he is and making Australia the laughing stock of the tech world. Really, it is now. Of course he would prefer that noone know that he [...]]]></description>
