The political activists who helped free David Hicks and abolish Work Choices have now set their sights on the Government’s plan to censor the internet, which is already facing a major backlash and a lack of political support.GetUp says it plans to run mainstream ads and offline action that will be as elaborate as its free Hicks campaign. In just a day, a petition on its website has attracted over 22,000 signatures; GetUp said it had received more emails urging them to act on this issue than “any other campaign in recent history”.
