The government nearly passed the first bill in one day, this caught us by utter surprise. And the legislation proposed sets no upper limit on the number of devices in a network that they can monitor, meaning without oversight, they could potentially monitor every device in Australia with a single warrant.
The bill containing the mandatory data retention proposals will be hitting the senate next week and we imagine that it might get very little opposition like this first bill.
The only opposition to the bill is from the Greens and one LDP member so there is but a flicker of hope. But I imagine if we can at least delay these proposals, a more lively debate may spring up and pressure may be placed on legislators to reconsider their positions.
It is in the best interest of journalist to write about these bills at the moment because it highly affects them.
Personal thanks to Sen. Ludlam for delaying the bill yesterday!
Here is the website design we were trying to achieve -> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ByT3WMbCYAEsFcA.jpg:large
Expect it to be launched today or tomorrow.
When the campaign website launches, we need to generate numbers for the press, so make sure you take all the action available on the site.
In the mean time follow our lonely social media accounts to stay up to date with the campaign
