Australian Military Ban 'Fahrenheit'

The Australian Defense Force has banned the screening of Fahrenheit 9/11 on all of the country's military bases, the Sydney Morning Herald reported today (Tuesday). A spokesman for the defense department told the newspaper: "It is not appropriate for Defense to be seen to be supporting any film of an overtly political nature." The newspaper said that the film's Australian distributor, Hopscotch, had received a request from a soldier to show the film. Troy Lum, managing director of Hopscotch, told the paper: "This guy said everybody on the base was talking about the film and they want to see it. ... He also said it was the first time that anything had been censored. He is disgusted. We are appalled and surprised."


Yeah, isn't John Howard another Bush lap poodle. Australians need to find a new leader for their country!
