EFA loses Jacobs to the Greens
The high-profile chair of Electronic Frontiers Australia has revealed he is set to leave his role for a role advising Greens Senator Richard Di Natale in Federal Parliament.
With regular appearances on national television and in online, radio and print media, Colin Jacobs has been one of the most visible face of the EFA over the past several years. The organisation champions digital rights in Australia and is active in a wide variety of policy fronts, including top-level issues such as the campaign for an R18+ rating for video games as well as Labor’s mandatory Internet filter project.
In this role Jacobs and his colleagues have attracted a significant amount of flack from heavy-hitters such as Communications Minister Stephen Conroy. In March 2010, for example, Conroy accused the EFA, singling out Jacobs and several other members specifically, of ‘deliberately’ misleading the Australian public on the internet filter project.
