Cookies are data that a Web site transfers to an individual’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies can facilitate a user’s ongoing access to and use of a site. If you do not want information collected through the use of Cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to deny or accept the Cookie feature.
Third Party Links
You might find links to third party websites on our website. These websites should have their own privacy policies that you should check. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for their policies whatsoever as we have no control over them.
Aggressive and/or Abusive Behaviour
Abusive, insulting, menacing, harassing and/or offensive comments are not acceptable. Comments of an illegal and/or threatening nature will be reported to authorities. ‘Section 474.17 of the Commonwealth criminal code creates an offense, punishable by imprisonment for three years, of using a carriage service, and yes the internet counts, in such a way that a reasonable person would consider it “menacing, harassing or offensive”,’ from John Birmingham’s blog, where he cited cases already successfully prosecuted. (JB’s blog was previously on the Brisbane Times’s website but it has since been removed.)
People using this website are expected to debate ideas in a manner respectful of others. As one author said, ‘Play the ball [idea] not the person,’ (slight misquote to be inclusive).
