[nznog] Slightly OT: Petition to ban someone from the 'net

Now, I'll preface this by saying that I'm almost certain it's bovine excrement. But once you involve politicians, anything's possible. A friend of a friend (yeah, one of those stories) has raised with him the suggestion that NZ has some system to petition to have someone permanently banned from the Internet. This notional petition only requires 50 signatures. Can anyone confirm such a beast? I imagine there will be peals of laughter accompanying the reading of this e-mail, and I'll be stunned if someone says it does actually exist, but there's no harm in asking the group of people most likely to know. -- Matthew Poole "Don't use force.
