It's unfortunate that we've had successive governments (both sides) attacking privacy and security. From a casual glance, it looks to be done out of incompetence, when you see such headlines. But boy is that a long streak of coincidences.
- Perenti 5y agoSadly, it seems to be power for the sake of power. I've been involved with a few govt green papers over the last 20 years, and most of the proposals are about bureaucrats extending their reach. It's why I vote Green now, as both Labor and Liberal have become so focused on preserving their power that they ignore the Rest Of The World and The Science. For non-Australians, our Liberals are your Republicans, with all their faults, and our Labor is your Democrats, with all their faults. Our Greens seem to have broadened their platform to include social justice and true libertarianism, so they're no _as_ powerhungry.
