This is our chance to ask Senator Conroy to explain his plans to censor the internet.

The architect of the Government's net censorship plans, Communications Minister Stephen Conroy, has refused interviews on the topic for months. But at 9.30pm this Thursday night we have an opportunity to put him on the spot.

On Thursday night the Senator will appear on Q&A on ABC TV - a program that allows viewers rather than journalists to ask the tough questions.

It's time to hold Senator Conroy to account for his censorship plan, which will slow down the internet, make it more expensive, miss the vast majority of inappropriate content and accidentally block a range of perfectly legitimate sites.

Record your question for Stephen Conroy today:
