Stephen Conroy's Department of Communications, Broadband and the Digital Economy has declined to comment on multiple reports its secretary Patricia Scott will move to another government role.
The Rudd government has given Telstra a dramatic ultimatum: structurally separate your operations and divest Foxtel, or we'll do it for you.

As a veteran IT security consultant with first-hand experience working at two of Australia's largest ISP/telcos, encompassing the installing and configuration of many of the filtering technologies currently on the market, I am writing to express my deep concerns about your proposed internet filter.
