Communications Minister Stephen Conroy referred to Google's censorship on behalf of the Chinese and Thai governments in making his case for the company to impose censorship locally.

Blocking on the basis of keywords is so heavy-handed. I've had friends unable to look at sites about breast-feeding, for instance, because their work systems have blocked searches for "breasts". That sort of thing is just stupid.
