Nick Stefanos writes from Brisbane, Australia, Wednesday, October 29, 2003 that our website is being censored there
Our website is banned from Brisbane City Council computers
I
AM writing to you from Queen street mall in Brisbane,
Australia. I am using the free internet connection provided
by the Brisbane City Council.
I logged on successfully, read my morning news and then as I normally do, I clicked my bookmark to go to your site to see all the news from your site.
When I clicked on to "Real History" the page started to load and then I was suddenly redirected to the ABC'S Bananas in Pyjamas children's website.
I tried again and the same thing happened. I am stunned! Then I tried to do a search for "David Irving" via Google. I clicked on the link and of course I was directed straight back to the ABC children's site.
I am amazed. I was not aware the Brisbane City Council has taken upon itself to filter out certain websites.
