I'm not Australian, but don't really see why it wouldn't be running. They built a system to censor the internet. Might as well use it, right?

Quote from: Wikipedia
In 2008, the Australian Labor Party introduced a policy of mandatory Internet filtering for all Australians. The mandatory nature of the filter implies that it is targeted at adults.[1] While the policy has not yet come into force, it has generated substantial opposition, with only a few groups in support. The Labor Party does not have enough votes in the Senate to enact any legislation to support the filter, so the filter has "effectively been scuttled" unless the government is able to implement the filter by other means.[2][3][4]

Does that help?

I'm hoping this never starts, and it probably never will. I live in a nanny-state in a nanny-country and it's getting ridiculous.

That was pretty much the official policy during the Cold War. War is bad but if you goddamn communists make ONE wrong move I will nuke your miserable continent into glass so help me God. We must be prepared to lose the war if it means we simultaneously win the war. :D

This includes villains who are not from a Zelda game. Wanna know who was behind the whole Metal Gear fiasco from the start?

Ganon.

Who coded SHODAN?

Ganon.

Who pushed the button on the Fallout series nuclear war?

Ganon hired a guy.
