+ What do you think of the Australian Government’s plans to censor the internet (the so-called “Clean Feed”)???
In the wensite :http://nocleanfeed.com/ shows more information abou the "Clean Feed".

I don’t think that it would be a good idea. I believe that it’s up to parents to censor the internet and to keep it clean. Alot of information on the internet is good, however alot is bad. It’s a hard question to answer as some information would be good to remove, however doing that could also take away the good information. I don’t know. As for now though I think it’s up to parents to control what can and can’t be seen.

+What place does censorship have in a democracy?
The premise of a democratic society is directly contradicts censorship. The only censorship that should occur within a democratic society is one that the people elect themselves.
