Prime Minister's office has spoof website closed down
Reporters Without Borders voiced shock today at the methods used by the office of Australian Prime Minister John Howard to censor parody website Johnhowardpm.org, on which political commentator Richard Neville (photo) posted a spoof speech by Howard about the presence of Australian troops in Iraq. The prime minister's office had the website closed down on 14 March by going to Melbourne IT, the company that administers its domain name.
