Can You Be Jailed For Publishing An Incorrect List Of Banned Web Sites ?  

The ABC reports that the Australian Minister For Censorship, Stephen Conroy, says that the Wikileaks list of web sites the government wants to ban is inaccurate - but any Australian who helped publish it is at risk of prosecution - Leaked blacklist irresponsible, inaccurate: Conroy. Go figure how that works - you can be prosecuted for leaking a fake list of banned web sites - is this guy an Orwell fan with a twisted sense of humour ?????

Broadband and Communications Minister Stephen Conroy says a list claiming to be the communication regulator's blacklist for a proposed internet filtering system is not the real blacklist. He has condemned Wikileaks, the website that published the list, as "grossly irresponsible".

This morning Wikileaks published what it says is the Australian Communication and Media Authority's (ACMA) blacklist of banned websites that is being used in trials of a proposed mandatory internet filtering system. ...

"The leak and publication of prohibited URLs is grossly irresponsible. It undermines efforts to improve cyber-safety and create a safe online environment for children," Senator Conroy said. ... "I am aware of reports that a list of URLs has been placed on a website. This is not the ACMA blacklist." ...

"There are some common URLs to those on the ACMA blacklist. However, ACMA advises that there are URLs on the published list that have never been the subject of a complaint or ACMA investigation, and have never been included on the ACMA blacklist," he said. "ACMA is investigating this matter and is considering a range of possible actions it may take including referral to the Australian Federal Police. Any Australian involved in making this content publicly available would be at serious risk of criminal prosecution."
