Australia becoming a totalitarian state with email snooping to become the norm? E-mail

Thankfully, the News.com.au story notes that: “Mr McClelland has said privacy and civil liberties groups and unions would be consulted as the new laws were being drafted.”

But I trust this Government as much as I trusted the last Government – which means I don’t really trust it very much at all.

Anti-paedophilia and anti-terrorism concerns are all good and fine – I’m as against paedophiles and terrorists as the next person.

But blanket powers to snoop on all email communications – and the proposed censorship of all Internet access in Australia is the slippery slope on the road to serfdom, Government oppression and the totalitarian state.

This isn’t the 21st century I was expecting. It’s looking more and more like 1984.
