My thought for today

Everything is a matter of perspective.

Federal Parliament passed a law that allows the Government to read private emails, text messages and other stored communications without our knowledge. The power extends to innocent people, called B-parties, if they have been unlucky enough to communicate with someone suspected of a crime or of being a threat to national security.

I thought you should be aware of this sinister move on the part of the Australian Government to read private emails, text messages and other electronic data without our knowledge!

This is something that should not stand anywhere in the world, let alone in forward Western democracies.
