Happy New Year 2011 :)
We are planning projects for 2011 in this thread.
]]>Please refer to the post below regarding Operation Didgeridie for the methods we do encourage.
EDIT: Also, check out Stilgherrian’s Patch Monday (15/2/2010) podcast in which AnonSA features :)

As of 17th November, Independent Senator Nick Xenophon has made official accusations against the Church of Scientology in the Senate. He has called for a police investigation into the organization and an official review of Scientology’s tax exempt status.
There is an ongoing discussion in the forums HERE
Â
]]>This was announced via an Internet Video on YouTube
Part of the actions proposed in this war includes a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack against Australian Government websites.
This has been reported at the Herald Sun.
ANONSA WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT WE DO NOT SUPPORT THE DDOS OR ANY OTHER ILLEGAL ACTIONS.
As we always have, We do NOT support or condone any illegal activities against the Australian Government (or the Church of Scientology). We encourage peaceful, legal action only.
We would like to encourage Anonymous and members of the Australian Public to take action against the Australian Government—peacefully and legally. You do not need to identify as “Anonymous” or wear the Guy Fawkes mask to participate.
We are looking for as many people as possible to:
- Send a letter to your Minister about the Proposed Internet Censorship
- Send a letter to Senator Stephen Conroy.
- Talk to everyone about Internet Censorship. Put it on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, forums, talk to your friends, your family, and your cat.
- Make posters (and share them here) and put them on Community Noticeboards or anywhere you can get attention
- Phone Senator Stephen Conroy’s office about the Censorship
- Phone your Minister about the Censorship
- Send faxes to Ministers about the Censorship
- Phone talk-back radio about the Censorship
- Contact local television stations about the Censorship
- Write letters to the Editor of your local Newspaper about the Censorship…
In short, tell as many people as many ways as possible about the Censorship.
Finally, we hope to arrange a protest against the Internet Censorship—not as Anonymous, but as Australian Citizens. Perhaps there will be more information on this later.
And again, we do NOT support the DDoS!
Update:
REALLY good commentary here regarding the attack, better than any of the stories.
Somebody think of the children
Further media reports here, mostly copypasta from the herald:
]]>Upon closer inspection after the launch, AnonSA found that Scientology was listed under multiple sections!
Under:
- Volunteer Organisations
- Community Services
and “Churches, Religions and Philosophies”.
AnonSA, via twitter; brought this to the attention of Premier Mike Rann… of which since it has MYSTERIOUSLY DISSAPEARED from the sa.gov.au site.
We congratulate the premier for making some phonecalls and kicking some administrative ass, but…
The real question is, How did it get there in the first place?
Nobody appears to be coming forward, so what is left is idle speculation.
Any ideas, dear readers?
Premier?

]]>Later it was revealed they were forgeries. There is an element of truth in this discussion, regardless of the emails legitimacy, it’s become evident to the general public that Scientology is not a credible organisation. This same truth we have been reiterating. Scientology is dangerous, and association with it is damaging not only to yourself but your reputation.
“I would never do a favour for the Church of Scientology founded by a loony called L. Ron Hubbard†-(Premier Mike Rann, May 2009.)
The public are becoming more aware of the insidious nature of Scientology and its appendage organisations. Their underhand tactics are now more than ever becoming transparent to the general public.
I do not believe that this would have been achieved as quickly without efforts like Project Chanology and groups like AnonSA.
This is why we must continue pressing on.

/B/ROTHERS AND S/I/STERS,
INTERNET DENIZENS AND REGULAR FOLKS,
On February 21st we celebrate one year of Project Chanology. We encourage all whom have come in the past year (and those whom haven’t yet) to come and party with us at the Anoniversary!
The video above talks of some of our successes in 2008, and that is only what has happened in ADELAIDE, there has been much going on all over the world.
Despite fear-mongering propaganda from Scientology, we have proven in the hearts and minds of the South Australian public and government that we are peaceful protestors.
This is no easy feat, considering for most, the concept of a friendly person with no outward identity can seem daunting.
But we have done it before and we will do it again!
We have come a long way in a very short amount of time.
Let it be known:
WE’RE BACK, 1PM, Saturday 21st February, Victoria Square.
See you there, Anonymous.

We need to save the internet from Conroy, and the Governments proposed Internet Filter.
To quote the South Australian Facebook Event:
The Australian Federal Government is pushing forward with a plan to force Internet Service Providers [ISPs] to censor the Internet for all Australians. This plan will waste tens of millions of taxpayer dollars and slow down Internet access.
Despite being almost universally condemned by the public, ISPs, State Governments, Media and censorship experts, Communications Minister Stephen Conroy is determined to force this filter into your home.
What is the Government’s plan?
Although the final details of the filtering plans have been kept under wraps, the Minister is on record as being firmly committed to a mandatory clean-feed internet to Australian homes, schools and public computers. A trial of filtering software by the ACMA has already been performed, with a “live” field pilot to follow later this year. We must act fast before millions of dollars are squandered on this technically impractical and democratically unworkable solution in search of a problem.
What do we know so far?
- Filtering will be mandatory in all homes and schools across the country.
- The clean feed will censor material that is “harmful and inappropriate” for children.
- The filter will require a massive expansion of the ACMA’s blacklist of prohibited content.
- The Government wants to use dynamic filters of questionable accuracy that slow the internet down by an average of 30%.
- The filtering will target legal as well as illegal material.
- $44m has been budgeted for the implementation of this scheme so far.
- The clean-feed for children will be opt-out, but a second filter will be mandatory for all Internet users.
- A live pilot deployment is going ahead in the near future.
What we don’t know is just as important.
- What age level is the country’s Internet to be made appropriate for? 15? 10? 5 years old?
- Who decides what material is “appropriate” for Australians to see?
- How are lists of “illegal” material compiled?
- Who will maintain the blacklist of prohibited sites?
- How can sites mistakenly added to the list be removed?
All of us want to see children protected from content that could be disturbing or harmful. The clean-feed filter is not a good way to go about this, and could actually reduce the safety of children online.
There is a Nationwide protest for against the filter that will be occuring in South Australia on Saturday December 13th from 12 noon to 4 pm at the steps of Parliment House.
Please RSVP to the Facebook Event and invite all your friends along.
