Phone Senator Conroy
Mon 2 Feb 2009Parliament resumes tomorrow. I think we should all phone Senator Conroy to ask what socks and/or shoes to wear. Or maybe what to eat for lunch? After all, he has volunteered to make our decisions for us.
In fact, let’s phone him every day for our decisions, large and small, until he drops his wasteful and ineffective scheme to censor Australia’s internet. Leave a comment below to let us all know what decisions you have referred to Senator Conroy by phone.
I’m going out for coffee. What would you like?
Hang on. I have to ask Senator Stephen Conroy.
Who’s that?
Minister for censorship. He believes Australians can’t make their own decisions. So…
whenever I have to decide something, I call his Parliamentary office on “02 6277 7480″.
If he’s not there, I try his Ministerial office on “03 9650 1188″.
Hello Stephen. What coffee do I prefer?
Filtered.
If anyone doesn’t know why we are phoning Senator Conroy, see my earlier posts:
- No Censorship after Australia Day
- Federal Government’s Censorship Plan is Dangerous to Children
- Cancer and Colitis victims Condemn Conroy’s Censorship
Also go to libertus.net to see Irene Graham’s thoroughly-researched history of how our Labor government has introduced this censorship by stealth.

Hi Mike
Forwarded to all the people I could. Hope it makes you famous

Thanks Aurelius. I don’t want to be famous. I just want my children to grow up in an Australia without an easily-manipulated censorship scheme.
