Stephen Conroy Stephen Conroy is the worst Communications Minister Australia has had in the 15 years since the Internet industry has existed ([#1]). He's wasting the poor Australians' tax-money ($84 000 000 for a start) on totally useless and pure evil filtering. And it's quite likely that Elftown becomes filtered too. Thanks for that, Stephen! Go out and jump in some piles of leaves!
