I'm sad for Australia (and for us, and for western civilization as a whole in fact). But maybe this will be a wakeup call for the freedom-loving among Australians? It takes more than just commenting on right-leaning blogs. It needs outrage, and local activism. Don't go where Britain went.

Professor (of politics) Robert Manne, however, has spoken out against free speech. Irked by people who see through the AGW fraud, he declares, “I do not believe it makes sense for non-scientists to have views on scientific issues”.
