Remove euthanasia section

edit

I attempted to do this and it was reverted. The justification provided was that sources are provided therefore it should stay.

I cannot get the link to resolve myself, but I am curious as to whether or not it is appropriate for an organisational page to contain activities of associated members and whether it is notable enough merely because there was an article written about it.

Notwithstanding, I've moved it under "Policy and platform" for now. I still think it should be removed. --Bbqsrc (talk) 04:03, 30 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

It was pretty notable at the time because it dealt with two matters: firstly, as a part of the on-going euthanasia debate in Australia (following the brief period it was legal in the Northern Territory); and secondly, the training was conducted around the same time that then Minister for Communications, Senator Stephen Conroy was promoting his Internet censorship policy (the so-called "Clean Feed"). So running a training session for people to circumvent censorship back then was basically waving a red flag in front of the bull that was the Rudd Labor government of the time. Remember Conroy wanted to ban "dangerous information" too dangerous for us mere mortals.
I, however, have better sense than to even consider editing this article at this time, for all the obvious reasons (well, except for spelling fixes, link fixes and vandalism reversion). Maybe after the next Congress, though.  ;) --BenM (talk) 09:46, 18 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
