Their understanding of technology is so poor that I suspect a homeless hobo off the street would have a better grasp of telecommunications technology then Senator Fielding.
I figure Family First will be out next election. They only got in on Labor preferences (lol) and Fielding hasn't had a particularly good track record of bothering to show up for Parliament. Besides, he gets all pissy and teary when none of the real politicians take him seriously. He's no Nick Xenophon, that's for sure.

Speaking of whom, Xenophon doesn't support the filter anymore. I think he originally supported blocking online gambling, but then he decided that it opened a whole new can of worms that he didn't want to be involved with.

Why do they call him chairman Rudd? He's hardly left wing.
Because he speaks Chinese. Chairman Mao = Chinese. Rudd = speaks Chinese. Therefore Rudd = Chairman Rudd.

That's what I'm guessing.

Also:
He apparently has close ties with influencial Chinese businesses. (Yeah, I know, big deal)
"Kevin" loosely rhymes with "Chairman". :lol:
He's also into censorship.

"Those Chinese f..kers are trying to rat-f..k us," -credited to Kevin Rudd, the former Prime Minister of Australia :lol:
