On 31 December 2007, Stephen Conroy announced the Federal Government's intention to introduce an ISP-based filter to censor "inappropriate material" from the Internet (mainly child abuse and terrorism). In this announcement he also stated that adults could opt out of the filter to receive an uncensored internet. The filter itself is flawed, so is met with strong opposition. Banning illegal content like child abuse and terrorism is inarguably a good thing. I welcome it.
The only knowledge of Chris is people who share their personal memories about him and the letters that he writes to the public. These are in Chris's own handwriting and straight from his own thoughts so it is the only accurate source of information. It is also a way to keep better track of his journeys since he had no fixed travel plan.

Johnson gives statistics showing that talking on a cell phone is as dangerous as driving drunk. Moreover, she points out the increasing number of accidents caused by cell phone use. Her conclusion is that we need to personally decide not to use a cell phone while driving and that we need to educate our friends and family to give up using cell phones while driving too. I agree with Jones that cell phones are dangerous and that we should personally choose to not use one while driving; however, I’d go further than Jones by adding that we need to have laws that prohibit anyone from using cell phones in
The most important policy concern has always been the “floodgates argument”. This is when judges are reluctant to impose duty on the defendants because the judges fear that it will “open the floodgates of litigation” and unlimited claims can arise out of a one incident. It is considered to be not fair, just and reasonable to impose duty on defendants disproportionate to his fault. It is well illustrated in Spartan Steel v Martin & Co, where the claimant claimed the loss of potential profit which he would have made if the defendant did not negligently damage the cable which provided electricity to the claimant’s factory. However, the courts found that there was no duty owed by the defendant as Lord Denning stated that impose duty on defendant in such circumstance will lead to “no end of claims” .

Congress boldly and broadly passed the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990 under the power of the Commerce Clause. Congress very loosely tied the idea of someone carrying a gun to school or anywhere else for that matter, affected the economy and thereby fell under the scrutiny of the Commerce Clause. Lopez appealed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals that it was unconstitutional for Congress to legislate control over schools, which are usually controlled on the local level.

The opinion of the court pointed to three areas Congress may act under the Commerce Clause.

In reaction to this ban, some members the public see this ban as just outrageous while others believe t hat brumby is just out of ideas.

Damien’s article also suggest that the 2am lockout is pointless, but leans more towards the fact the John Brumby is really just out of ideas.
