The Greens say their website will fade to black on Australia Day as part of a nationwide protest against the Federal Government's proposed internet filter.
The Federal Government wants to pass laws to force internet service providers to block banned material hosted on overseas servers, but its decision to press ahead with compulsory internet filtering has come under fire from lobby groups and the Greens.
Communications Minister Stephen Conroy says he intends to introduce legislation in the first half of 2010.
Greens Senator Scott Ludlam says he believes more than 500 websites will take part in what is being dubbed 'The Great Australian Internet Blackout'.
