    Changes are afoot.

    Australia has its first ever female Prime Minister and a government looking to move on from all the unpopular policies that have been driving down the Labour party’s popularity over the past couple of months.

    A lot of attention related to the fallout of the leadership change is focused on the Broadband, Communications, and Digital Economy portfolio. Rumours are rife that current Minister, Senator Stephen Conroy, the driving force behind the Australian Government’s Internet Filtering plan (and of the “Spams coming through the Portal” fame) will be replaced by Senator Kate Lundy.
