The Australian Government is introducing legislation that converts itself into a virtual dictatorship whereby it has sweeping powers to order any communication company to simply do whatever they command. The claim the powers are as always for national security to prevent spies and criminals from accessing communications. This is akin to government saying they want to outlaw murder so the way to prevent murder is to simply just kill anyone they “think” someone would murder. You cannot prevent spies and criminals by doing the same thing yourself. How did we ever exist as a society if the government didn’t read every single piece of mail involving everyone in the world before emails?
Ever since the 2015.75 turning point in government on the ECM, we have seen a new directive – take everything. Britain we see the same action as well as in France. The drive towards non-democratic forms of government is underway.
