Internet is again the most consumed media in Australia, according to the Nielsen annual Internet and Technology Report:

Intenet, Internet Radio, Internet Video and Video games consumption grew YOY
Tv, radio and print declined YOY
Multitasking has now become mainstream. 61% of users watch TV while they are online and 50% listen to the radio.

I encourage everyone to sign the following petion against the ridiculous government initiative of an Government Internet filter.

From the GetUp! Action for Australia site:

“The Federal Government is planning to force all Australian servers to filter internet traffic and block any material the Government deems ‘inappropriate’. Under the plan, the Government can add any ‘unwanted’ site to a secret blacklist.

Testing has already begun on systems that will slow our internet by up to 87%, make it more expensive, miss the vast majority of inappropriate content and accidentally block up to 1 in 12 legitimate sites. Our children deserve better protection – and that won’t be achieved by wasting millions on this deeply flawed system.”
