The No Clean Feed Canberra rally is finally happening! Unfortunately we won’t be around to take part in the Canberra rally as we will be in Sydney (and aiming to be at the Sydney rally) but if you’re in Canberra, please show your support for the No Clean Feed issue by attending the rally. If you can’t, please pass the message on so people are able to make an informed decision about the issues surrounding the mandatory internet filtering plan proposed by the Australian Federal Government.
The Canberra rally will occur this Saturday 13 December from 12pm in City Walk. The full details of the No Clean Feed Canberra rally is available at the Facebook event page. If you can’t access the Facebook page, check out this alternate page instead.
