ATUG awards night: Party photos

He won, according to ATUG, for "seeking input from feisty and fearless friends", improving levels of customer service by working with industry, developing Australia's digital economy, working through platforms, policies, opportunities and obstacles and supporting campaigns seeking fairer outcomes for users.

I'd say mr Conroy has done the exact opposite, striving to ignore all evidence, belittling any who disagree, attempting to apply political pressure to stop comment and refusing to communicate with the IT industry or voters, all the while attempting to introduce an ill conceived plan to bring Australia into line with Chinese internet censorship policy and destroy the Australian information economy.

If Conroy deserves a medal for 'Communicator of the Year'

...then Robert Mugabe is overdue for a Nobel Prize in Economics.
