forget it. the howard government has been little more than a series of incremental retrograde steps on just about everything *except* help for their rich mates. I mean seriously, with all the cash they blew on pseudo privatising telstra and installing Trujillo? don’t even get me started.

There was something a politician once said that always stuck with me “Australia is a technological goat track” and I think this suits the article perfectly.

Is there something we can actually do to change this? Or do we have to wait for them to run out of poor decisions to make?

I'm pretty sure they've got a fair few spare.

This makes me so amazingly annoyed.
The Australian government has such little respect for computer gaming, the arts, and education.

Just because lots of dinosaurs once lived on the oddly shaped mass that became Australia, doesn't mean we need to be a country full of technological fossils.

The simple fact of the matter is that Helen Coonan has *absolutely no idea* what she is doing. The state of broadband is a joke, the games industry is plateauing due to lack of support, and all she’s interested in doing is throwing millions of taxpayer dollars down the toilet to push mandatory and completely impractical content filtering onto ISPs and the like.
