But, but, but... the bill specifically says that they're excluded from the spying! So they're totally immune from that risk! /s Yes, I'll laugh when their pants inevitably fall down. I wonder what the reaction will be. But seriously, I have to wonder what these politicians want the endgame to be. A police state isn't good for anyone, including them. I used to think Australia was the best country and think they were trying their best for Australia's interests, but they are busily removing the good things about Australia at a really scary rate. I don't want to trade a minor increase in "safety" for living in a surveillance dystopia, which is 100% where we're headed.

With freedom comes risk, I live in the USA and I want to be able to walk down the street without being monitored or tracked. Along with that I must accept that petty crime is going to happen, because I am not the only one walking down the street without being monitored. I think that crime needs to be reevaluated. There needs to be a good financial analysis of where the time and attention is best spent, they cannot find all crime all of the time (which feels like the goal)

  Finding all crime is not the goal. As the KGB saying goes, "Everyone has committed a crime, it's about who we decide to prosecute".
