The ACT has had, of course, one for a while. Not sure if there are any privacy provisions. This plus the Labor plan to dump Hockeys identity card may save us from slipping into the reports "black list" for a while. It is a most interesting report Mark.( Link below for those who wish to jump into the nitty gritty )

Victoria, it is worthy of note, became the first state with an official Bill of Rights as this new year began. The ACT has had, of course, one for a while. Not sure if there are any privacy provisions.

This plus the Labor plan to dump Hockeys identity card may save us from slipping into the reports “black list” for a while.

Planning for July and a suckup to Steve Fielding. http://www.grods.com/post/1775/#comments The Senate is so tightly balanced. Nick Xenophon should be onside - maybe an online gambling ban, though? - but Rudd will still contantly need the family first monster, of his own party's creation, to get legislation over the line. A 34 million a year, invasion of privacy policy, might be considered small beer. I like the Crodscorp slant to this subject. Planning for July and a suckup to Steve Fielding.

There was an entertaining little discussion on LP a couple of years about just that - with the usual cheerless charmless teethgritted interjections by ole Jack himself. Basically all Jack's comments make sense if you can imagine playing 'Risk' with himself...and losing. But hey no hard feelings Jack? All in jest right? Let me buy you a drink or three at BIO 2008 in San Diego this June. I'm thinking Onyx or the cocktail lounge at the Hotel Del Coronado.

There is no cogent argument for allowing these parasites of the planet even more "freedom". The current fashionable appeal to "oppression" via some mysterious government boogeyman makes me want to barf my vegan guts up. You whores of humanity need to be regulated like the filthy germs you are. I'm not talking like Hitler, Stalin or Orwell's fictitious wank either. No. That's libertarian compared to what's really needed to keep you maladapted monkeys from effing the planet and it's more noble inhabitants. Despite his completely valid opinions on animals and the environment(i give him 4 heils out of 5), Hitler was a freakin humanist gheylord compared to what is actually required to put things right when it comes to the "final solution"(pfft!). And you lot are complaining about teh net censorists? OY VEY. You third worldist lefty lemmings give me the Scheißes almost as bad as the religious untermensch of the right. PLZ lose your embarrassing opinions and accept that humanity is a dirty word and any effort to help it is a transgression against the greater good. That's what will set your dirty monkey mind free. Everything else is a lie(not that you can even fathom a thing i'm saying because you're either masturbating, have just masturbated, or are contemplating masturbating like a toey spider monkey hooped up on fermented fruit). And before you ask, NO, i am not fun to have at parties(which, btw, I hate). Most humans are nothing more than cannibalistic chimps with a natural will to evil.

I mean think of all the moral chaos the book has caused. Behind all this garbage Conway, and beefore him, Coonan, are going on about is the frightening thought, for them, that the oligarchical elites are actually starting to lose control. The anarchistic Socialist in me thinks that's a good thing. Jack,
