THE IDEA that whistleblowers exposing Australia's great rabbit-proof fence of Internet censorship might be okay if they publish their results overseas has been dealt a blow.
German coppers have raided the offices of Wikileaks.de and transferred the control of the domain to government authorities. The raid was triggered by WikiLeaks' publication of Australia's proposed secret Internet censorship list.
The list showed that far from censoring kiddie porn sites, the list also included many tame sites that were opposed to Aussie government policy. The publication of the list probably means that the great rabbit-proof fence plan will no longer enjoy much parliamentary support.
