The internet is perfect for big-brother surveillance. It's inevitable; but let's delay it while we can. Grassroots awareness is probably the best beginning - just let people know about it. Anyone know of any official releases about it? I've read a few stories about it, but not seen links to official confirmation. There must be Acts passed in parliament or something. I'm sure it would require new laws.

Dec 31, 2007: telecommunications minister Stephen Conroy said more needed to be done to protect children. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7165987.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7165987.stm Strange, all news stories seem to be from outside Australia... that reminds me of some other countries, where they need to listen to the BBC to find out what is happening at home... Not a good sign...! The stockmarket crash is a convenient cover for pushing ahead unpopular schemes...
