Library Bans Writer and Australians Get Net Censorship

An interesting post over at Areopagitica about Hackney council cancelling a reading in a library by Iain Sinclair because they don't like his views on the forthcoming Olympics.

And, having thought the Australians were smarter than us for demolishing attempts to set up an ID card and database similar to those planned by our own dear leaders, I find they're now intent on censoring internet access automatically.
