Dear LOTR (& Forum Members)

I have read your reply and, in the main, agree with your overall assessment of what would happen if this Internet Bill becomes law. However, although some politicians are indeed stupid and in most cases do not understand the Bills they are voting for to become law, they do "horse-trade", in one form or another, to get what they want.

Therefore, what do your Australian Senators/Politicians hope to get by selling out the privacy of their citizens?

Believe me, I understand that some authoritarian politicians want to know what is going on in their citizen's homes (I'm surprised that some western government agencies have not stooped to hiring selected individuals, like in the former Eastern Germany, to spy on their own families). I can't believe it's just a trade issue, someone or some group is looking for some sort of kick back for selling out Australia's Internet.
