Australian surveillance and intelligence laws

I don't trust GetUp! since they put out a partition to support the Carbon Tax to make sure no one would block the Carbon Tax. I believe they are politically motivated to support and to attack certain laws and try and use people as pawns to do so. Just saying you should look carefully into GetUp! something is very fishy with them! I mean why don't they partition against ending the Reserve Bank of Australia or Repealing all the already Unconstitutional legislation?

Being a GetUp member doesn't mean you have to sign every petition they stick under your nose. Most of them I ignore, some I agree with and sign up for, a few I even donate to.

From what I gather they respond to members' suggestions, if enough members brought up the RBA as a social injustice they might consider it, or they may be puppet masters building their own personal army.
 
Some of you may appreciate this blog post:

In the post, Aziz discusses a BBC article that says:
A teenager arrested over a malicious tweet sent to Team GB diver Tom Daley has been issued with a warning.

Dorset Police said the 17-year-old boy was held at a guest house in the Weymouth area on suspicion of malicious communications and later bailed.

After coming fourth in the men's synchronised 10m platform diving event on Monday, Daley, 18, from Plymouth received a message on Twitter.

It told him he had let down his father Rob, who died in 2011 from cancer.

The blog post goes a bit further, but it is relevant to this post on SS.
 
just for your info, Bill Shorten is on the board of Getup, just take that into account when you hand over your name, postcode and phone number
 
And that would be the get up organisation bank rolled by that paragon of virtue George soros.
 
I just had my own new computer remotely taken over by a technician from my ISP (thousands of kms away) who was trying to help me with some set up problems.

All I had to do was click a pop up screen on my computer allowing him to take it over. It was very easily done and I just sat back and watched the mouse moving around my screen doing things to my computer remotely!
It was a scarey kind of feeling that someone I didnt know and couldnt see could so easily take over my computer like that. He had full access to everything showing on my screen, he even downloaded my most recent emails! :o
 
Years ago I clicked on a link to the CIA museum; after reading what I wanted to I took a look around the rest of the site. About 2 minutes after leaving I had a message appear that somone was attempting to hack my computer - never saw one like that before or since.

but that session was voluntary, in the future you will not even realise what they are taking or giving to you :P :/
 
remember that just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean that you're not being watched

its very simple to keep your precious information from being accessible to ANYONE else

what software warns you when someone is hacking into your computer?

donate to GetUp, your money will be spent nicely at the local restaurant & bar

In my own opinion, the these people are fairly incompetent when it comes to this kind of stuff, and technology.

They can barely manage themselves.

almost laughable:
in what they claim was a "terrible misunderstanding" the NSW Police were being sued for pirating software licenses used to access the COPS database, which holds the highly confidential details of state citizens. For 10 years they police had been duplicating the software & sharing it with other law enforcement agencies.

There's probably a fairly good chance that these things are already occurring on a massive scale. The news is that they are seeking to enshrine permission in legislation.

I'm surprised many of you are that paranoid.

Oh, I get it; it's because I am already use to prison. HAHAHAHAHA

Feels good not being paranoid about the authorities and what they may do blah blah. Only those whom have not tasted the other side live their life in fear.

I reckon you chill out, sit back, put your feet up, sip your cuppa, and shut the fk up. Cause, you only bring more attention to yourself by panicking like headless chickens. Use your head. Only those whom have something to hide worry.

Oh oh oh oh I get it; it's cause I'm not a druggie or criminal I don't fear. Now I understand why some of you are all worked up. ;)
 
When they say 'the authorities' they mean a bunch of public servants who stop thinking at 8.30 and start again at 5.06 or whatever time it is these days of flexible show up when it suits you. Just the sort of people you want poring over your emails and private affairs. It's not that I have something to hide, it's that they have something better to do.

And any reduction in our freedoms makes it one step closer to a society with no freedoms. Freedoms are what give us the ability to not act like little automatons and therefore free to have drink alcohol, smoke unhealthy tobacco, drive cars (& have crashes), eat junk food, watch internet porn, be gay (or not), enjoy BDSM (or not), write offensive blogs and to commit real crimes. Any reduction in freedom can be "justified" on the basis of attempting to reduce real crime but we end up in an evil world run by dictators.
 
Too late. We already knew that.

Roxon puts web surveillance plans on ice

A CONTROVERSIAL internet security plan to store the web history of all Australians for up to two years has been stalled by the federal government until after the next election.

Security bureaucrats have drafted legislation to expand internet surveillance and security powers, but Attorney-General Nicola Roxon decided to first refer a discussion paper to a parliamentary committee.

Good news so far. But I guess they are using the same scheme everywhere: Once there are tooo strong protests against their attempts to control the net, they say "OK, OK, we won't do this....


















... now"
