Internet Minister

The official unofficial Minister for the Internet RT ≠ endorsement, censure or comprehension.

Will jail-time for pirates be in the #TPP @AndrewRobbMP? #ReleaseTheText

Note: the process of blocking websites through filtering the internet is not, repeat not, an internet filter http://t.co/WLMF6VJLOV

[Internet Minister @NetMinisterAU]

We need to act fast to stop #Pirates! More compelling evidence for my internet filter - http://t.co/IraA7bWDcP

"You can't stuff the toothpaste back in the tube". Late releases, outright blocking and our new tv habits: http://t.co/0w30uJQt2h

Please, for the sake of the content owners, oppose Talk Like A Pirate day. #StopThePirates #NoPirates

[Internet Minister @NetMinisterAU]

My intern tells me this is the best way to explain our internet filter policy to the #teens https://t.co/suLi5AZd5V

[Internet Minister @NetMinisterAU]

An audience member has suggested highway robbery to solve piracy. I enjoy his creative thinking #CopyrightAU

[Internet Minister @NetMinisterAU]

@radisonwright I really appreciate their creative use of underlining and red text.

[Internet Minister @NetMinisterAU]

We are consulting widely. It's why we've had discussion tonight with 6 major business representatives (and 1 consumer guy) #CopyrightAU

Silver bullet! RT @NetMinisterAU: "It's too late to stop the internet" says Malcolm but shouldn't we at least try? #CopyrightAU

[Internet Minister @NetMinisterAU]

Like Foxtel, I don't quite understand how this works but monitoring users and blocking sites should be cheap and easy #CopyrightAU

"It's too late to stop the internet" says Malcolm but shouldn't we at least try? #CopyrightAU

[Internet Minister @NetMinisterAU]

So @AlanKirkland is looking for a stronger policy rational than "might" - how about "kinda sorta will work"?

[Internet Minister @NetMinisterAU]

Other countries have these schemes and, sure, there's no "evidence" they'll work but do we want to be left out of the club? #CopyrightAU

[Internet Minister @NetMinisterAU]

As foxtel explains, it relies on current business models to support foxtel. #CopyrightAU

[Internet Minister @NetMinisterAU]

The French scheme worked so well they've wound it up! #CopyrightAU

[Internet Minister @NetMinisterAU]

Do three strikes schemes work? Well ignoring independent evidence from @rgibli I'd say yes! #CopyrightAU

[Internet Minister @NetMinisterAU]

After half an hour of hearing from copyright distributors, I'm convinced! Shall we leave this here? #CopyrightAU

[Internet Minister @NetMinisterAU]

Copyright distributors say affordability is not a problem in Australia. Can someone let consumers know? #CopyrightAU

[Internet Minister @NetMinisterAU]

Accessibility and affordability "hasn't solved the problem" says foxtel and it's important we don't make them try it #CopyrightAU
