Since Crikey published it, the site has been shut down. It was hosted via Yahoo and apparently it was a technical issue.

Nup - apparently it was the Howard government who asked for it to be blocked.

The wheels move fast. It explains the applause at The Games - no one wanted to be the first to stop.
ReplyDeleteIs there any outrage about this site being shut down by the gub'mint?
ReplyDeleteNone really. Though the Sydney Morning Herald was the one who reported, at their E-edition provided the link to where the spoof speech could be found.
ReplyDeleteAlas freedom of speech has never been a big issue here in Oz because by and large we've never had it.
