[edit] merger with ACA
Agree. --Adbabypenguin 21:38, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Spelling
As this is an article on an Australian government body would it be better to use Australian spelling of words? An example is licence instead of the US spelling license? Ozdaren 03:58, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Internet Censorship and Criticisms
According to the article, "Some people strongly disagree with this approach. They say the Australian constitution does not clearly provide either the states or the federal government power to censor online content, so internet censorship in Australia is typically an amalgam of various plans, laws, acts and policies."
I don't know if this particular criticism is sensible enough to be included. The reason I say that is that the Australian Constitution does not allocate powers to the States, only to the federal government. In some very particular cases the federal constitution does restrict the rights of states, but certainly not when it comes to censorship. The State Parliaments are basically free to legislate on anything else, whether it is mentioned in the Constitution or not. Should this be removed or, better yet, replaced with a more sensible example of criticism? Troyac 13:21, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
