  • The Media Cult of David Petraeus

    Updated: 2010-12-29 22:17:57
    David Ignatius of the Washington Post (12/29/10): I've seen Petraeus give many briefings over the years, and it's a bit like watching a magician at work. Even though you've seen the trick before, and you know the patter, you still get mesmerized. He has the ability to make people believe the impossible might be doable, after [...]

    Updated: 2010-12-27 19:07:49
    Sheryl Gay Stolberg has an article in the New York Times (12/26/10) about what President Obama's trips to Hawaii say about him: "Mr. Obama's disappearance behind the palm trees reveals much about his presidential style, and also his thinking about how to balance work and play." She contrasts these trips to his birth state with [...]

  • Wikileaks - think of the politicians

    Updated: 2010-12-16 00:16:33
    The Wikileaks saga continues to captivate the public imagination. The drama around Assange and his arrest, the fascinating leaks, and the cyberpunk-style internet war that is raging in the background means this is the story that just keeps on giving. And it's not just geeks that are soaking up the news - it's everybody. This will have a huge impact on future debates on civil liberties online. Though Wikileaks has done only what journalists have been doing for time immemorial, the backlash against them - and Julian Assange personally - has been massive. First came the outrage. The vociferous condemnations, [...]

  • R18+ games - down but not out

    Updated: 2010-12-12 23:04:16
    The Standing Committee of Attorneys-General (SCAG) met on Friday, with the creation of an R-18+ category for computer games a top agenda item. Because changes to the classification code require unanimous agreement by all states and the Commonwealth, this is the body where the games reform is going to live or die. With the commonwealth government strongly behind the reform, there was almost feverish excitement amongst gamers that the AGs would finally get this over and done with. Michael Atkinson, former South Australian Attorney-General, almost single-handedly stalled reform in this area for years, but his departure at the last S.A. [...]

  • EFA disappointed by stalled games reform

    Updated: 2010-12-10 11:33:53
    Electronic Frontiers Australia (EFA) today urged state governments to continue the momentum for classification reform, following a lack of agreement by the Standing Committee of Attorneys-General to establish an adults-only classification for computer games. Currently, computer games that would be rated above MA-15+ are banned for sale in Australia. "This is a reform that has overwhelming public support and is long overdue," said EFA Chair Colin Jacobs. "For over a decade, games have been treated differently to movies, causing dozens of popular titles to be banned in Australia. It's high time this situation was remedied." Changes to the classification code [...]

  • Julian Assange and Wikileaks deserve protection

    Updated: 2010-12-07 22:54:40
    All it needs for evil to flourish is for people of good will to do nothing. - Edmund Burke We understand from news reports overnight that Julian Assange, founder of the whistleblowing website Wikileaks has presented himself to UK police and been arrested over sexual assault claims in Sweden. We call on the government to ensure that Assange is afforded the proper support, security and representation due to an Australian citizen facing charges overseas. Due to the nature of the #cablegate leaks recently published by Wikileaks, Assange has become a target for angry, fearful and vengeful politicians and powerbrokers who [...]

  • EFA urges states to embrace game rating change

    Updated: 2010-12-06 00:00:08
    Electronic Frontiers Australia today welcomed the Government's announcement that it supports an adults-only category for computer games, ahead of a meeting of Australian attorneys-general this Friday. "In banning all games that are not suitable for children, Australia is an outlier amongst developed countries," said EFA Chair Colin Jacobs. "Given the average age of the Australian gamer is over 30, it's ridiculous that adults can't choose to purchase entertainment designed just for them. Over 80% of the Australian public agree." Home Affairs minister Brendan O'Connor yesterday released a statement encouraging the states to adopt an R-18+ category for computer games, citing [...]
