First I've heard of it. We had just over past year ridded of the potential filters bill of Conroy. Seems we still have ignorant idiotic senators in government. Yes this is an extremely dangerous & idiotic Bill. Privacy for anybody on the internet gone. As the example shown, all world governments including China, Russia, etc. could get the entire personal details of anybody who uses the internet in Australia. This information could of course be sold off let alone used for the government's deviant purposes.

Such a Bill would save all the world's security organisations a lot of work, no need to have their spy agencies over here now, all the work done for them by idiotic ignorant Australian senators.

Those senators in question who are pushing the Bill, should be locked in an Australian Federation jail for trying to weaken & sell out Australia's security. Such a bill would also give world governments personal details to all Australian government personnel, the defense personnel, ASIO, & their families. It is such an idiotic bill beyond belief.

Since when do ANY other world governments allow the giving away of such information, let alone the opportunity of obtaining wholesale information for an entire ISP or such.

In most cases, such senators originate from minority religious group political parties (though may be independent or joined other parties now.) And often are ignorant about the internet. These senators pretend they represent Australians, but definitely do not represent the general Australian's viewpoint. That is why they are trying to force the Bill through so quickly before much public notice.

We do not need to sell ourselves out just to improve trade with Europe.

Just leave things as they are, nothing wrong with Australia's internet. But will be if this Bill is passed.

Edit: If these dumb narrow minded senators really had their way, all Australians would be getting internet spammed with their minority Christian group's messages as soon as we turned the internet on (like a Christian TV message of the day.) It's a little like but much worse than hiring the Roman Catholic Church's Pope to set the laws for Australia.
Their underlying message being: Repent from being a true Australian & become like our narrow minded prejudiced christian group that represents 0.05% of the national population. lol Christian 'pushers' are such a pain. Trying to push their ideas onto the majority, like door to door spammery. But once they get their foot into government they try to hide their tricks. Notice the lack of public notification & lack of public options to oppose their 'Treacherous' Bill.

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.
