    Sky News is running a "Should ISPs be required by law to store users' web browsing history?" poll.

    You know which option to vote for.

    The Govt would simply try to amend the law to remove that violation.

    Man, this just keeps getting worse and worse. I don't want to start a political argument, but this government is full of morons.

    You know, I was actually thinking of making an online petition to target this government, by stating we would not vote for them again if all this crap goes through. Worded better of course

    Does anyone think that would work? I know quite a number of people would sign it.

    I do agree with you but I wouldn't want a govt with Tony Abbot in charge.

    +2. It's kinda sad when the best you can say for the nominal leader of the country is 'Well, he's not as bad as the other guy.', and even more sad that that's pretty much always the case.

    Our best bet here is to get the Greens the balance of power in the Senate, since both of the major 2 & 1/2 parties (Labor and Lib/Nat) are all too happy to trade civil liberties and due process for the illusion of safety.

    That's actually looking very likely.

    Yeah, specially since he isn't opposed to these internet changes and would be willing to take them even further.

    Ughhh! The political environment seems hopeless.
