Have been in low mood therefore there's a big gap.

Update on Peter's trip to the US #spygate
Paul Bongiorno: "The powerful cabinet minister, who has extensive control of Australia’s
domestic security apparatus and who has been the major driver in the
production of an increasing number of draconian bills invading personal
privacy and liberties and criminalising journalism, now has climate
change protesters in the gun"

Useful link from MW: Have you been legally threatened ?
What's going on now in the wake of Peter Dutton and Michael Cash's comments threatening democracy - right to protest and right to welfare (Social Security Act?). Another MP's role is in question.

MW (21 Sep): Govt + private business + changed laws to hide financial disclosures.

Just watched Bill Shorten's interview on abc7.30pm and it is quite relief that the encryption backdoor bill has not been passed. The govt shut down the House of Reps because they didn't have the numbers to win divisions. Parliament resume to be in mid February 2019

Its greatful to have F Onthemoon on #auspol. Great work and a big thank you.
The exclusion of ICACs from access to encryption data
Listen to the tech sector
Thread for non-tech people ie MPs explaining why the #aabill is bad
4 Nov 2018 'The devil is in the detail of govt bill to enable access to communication data'. Murdoch rags interfering. In the best interest of the nation, in the best interest of all ordinary Australians, those MPs concerning security should not support the encryption bill. No 'at risk' deals before the elections.

Excellent info from Lilla, the whisperer seems to go through the 400-page bill. The more I learn about this 'terrifying' bill, the more sickening I feel. Really disappointed with those, who are on the 'nat security' committee, and with the knowledge of those, who are the true targets of The 'Foreign Interference and Espionage Bill', which is used to mislead ordinary Aussies. Check it out at the original version Nat Security Legislation Amendment Bill 2017
