Bloggers, spammers face clampdown

This has been popping up on many sites over the last 24 hours. I wonder what will happen in the long run.

We have had several pushes in the last few years in Australia to regulate and control what happens on the internet, all have failed. Being a bit cynical I wonder if it is just big business, government, brother, media etc wanting to keep control of what is going on and what is said. Which if that is the case, are we not moving more and more towards George Orwell's 1984?
