With the announcement via press release today that OPTUS, Telstra and Primus are supporting the Government plan to filter and censor the internet in Australia, I have just written a short, and very clear email to some PR people who I’d been working with on an upcoming OPTUS social media marketing plan, which included a launch featuring a video I produced.

I made it crystal clear that as of this very instant, I will NOT, in any way, be supporting, promoting, endorsing or working with OPTUS in any way and that I withdraw my consent for them to use any of my material in any and all OPTUS PR or promotions.

The biggest irony of all this? The OPTUS campaign was to deliver the message of “CHOICE”, the EXACT opposite of what censoring our internet would mean.
