It is Govt policy, and they aren't going to win any friends by speaking out against the most popular Labor leader in 15 years. Writing to bureaucrats (like Crikey suggested) is also a waste of time, since it just wastes their time, and the letters are never seen by the Ministers. Writing to the Opposition or Greens is a waste of time, since they can't actually change it. The Libs are going to make a calculated decision (and are most likely going to come down on the side of "family safety" and blocking p-rn. The Greens already oppose the filter - big old waste of time.Online action won't work. 1000s of emails won't work, unless its 10's of thousands. Twitter action won't work since the Govt doesn't really care about Twitter (see how successful the Iran Twitter actions were in getting new elections held - not at all).The problem is that the filter seems like a marginal issue that only inconveniences weirdos  and nerds - who aren't demographically significant when it comes to elections.Get Up's idea of targeting electorates with a campaign will not work for this problem. Even if geeks and internet tech heads feel strongly about this issue, in each electorate there are only a few hundred like-minded people (max). These people's change of vote will be off-set by other minor issue groups and by the general swing of the election. What's more, even people who feel strongly on this issue are still more likely to vote on a major issue like jobs, the economy, interest rates, climate change, health, education, leadership, etc.EFA and NoCleanFeed needs to start fundraising, and using that money to lobby business and the bureaucrats directly. EFA has a lot of good will. It needs to sit down with a professional and nut out a strategy for 2010, then get as many supporters as possible on a skype conference call or web chat, and sell that strategy to its supporters. The "Pirate Party" is not going to be a big help here (more likely to be a hindrance).Also, the NoCleanFeed needs to seriously change its messaging - at the moment it is shrill and marginal - many of the columns are near-hysterical.
