Laws eventually get abused. I think it’s very likely that this law will eventually lead to everything everybody is worrying about.

I saw they were working in clauses to invoke Parliamentary Privilege so they can't be spied on. Fuck that, there should be openness regarding discussions on any topic when they are there solely as their constituents' representatives. Had enough of them enacting laws that don't address the people's needs and serve no real purpose for the voters they clearly do not represent. Their inaction on climate change and continued embrace of the coal industry says it all. And anything to do with security is clearly above these clowns pay grade.
