Summary CONTESTED LEGISLATION OVER ILLEGAL DOWNLOADSThe Government is proposing legislation to block overseas web services that breach copyright. The bill will allow rights holders to apply to the Federal Court for an order to force Australian internet service providers to block access to offending sites. But the co-founder of Pirate Bay says the scheme won't deter downloaders.INTERVIEW: SCOTT LUDLAMThe Greens are calling for a series of amendments to the Government's proposed Online Infringement Bill which would allow for the blocking of overseas web services breaching copyright. Greens senator Scott Ludlam is one of the critics of the legislation. He tells Steve Cannane it's impossible to block online piracy, and that the new laws will allow current and future governments to censor whistleblowers.DEBATE: KELLY O'SHANASSY AND DAVID LEYONHJELMThe Prime Minister is proposing the creation of a wind farm commissioner to handle complaints about turbine noise and their alleged health impacts. Tony Abbott says the concerns need to be taken seriously. Australian Conservation Foundation CEO Kelly O'Shanassy and Liberal Democratic senator David Leyonhjelm debate the issue with Steve Cannane
