It will be interesting to see if any of us Aussies down under get a call or email from the ACMA. I’ve been vocal about the Australian government trying to tell us what is good for us, what’s not, what to think, see, hear, read, watch, wipe our *ss with etc. SBS Insight last night was interesting. It’s still up on the net! Mr Conroy dodged a few bullets, but I think the Australian people are smarter than what this government may believe. Liberal may just win the next election on the “blacklist” topic alone. If we loose freedom of speech, freedom of thought et al, we’ve lost just about everything. The coming weeks and months will be interesting and the censorship and blacklist matter are not doing to go away in a hurry. I was delighted to help push it along towards international news despite some efforts of Australian polies to try to keep it hush at first… they soon gave up. The online , freedom of speech and FOI wars have just only started. I’m glad to be a member of the Australian media union (MEAA) at this time. Don’t forget to see the movie “They Live”.

Neither Centrebet nor IAS are on the list.
Betfair, however, is on the list.I’m gonna have to disagree with you there as well Greg about Playtech taking the Australian market on over CB and IAS’s expense.. Since sportsbetting is legal here in Australia, and these two companies are pretty well known, I don’t think it will impact them too much. That’s my personal opinion.
