Please have a look at and send on the article linked to below on an
issue that could affect us all catastrophically. The article supplies a
really good argument against what the government is mooting. By the
way, as an editor, I would welcome articles about how the hardware in
ipods etc is becoming more and more dependent on proprietary software
and that this will also undermine internet expression as the proprietary
soft and hardware shapes internet use and content. Comments welcome.

All Australians to be treated as terrorist suspects?

This article contains James Sinnamon's submission to the Parliamentary
Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security
<http://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/House_of_Representatives_Committees?url=pjcis/nsl2012/index.htm>
(PJCIS) which wants to pass new laws to make all your emails and other
internet transactions up to two years back accessible to the Australian
Government. *"If Australian governments were serious about protecting
Australians from terrorism, they would not have given transnational
corporations with interests in every kind of industry including military
total access to information about resources and infrastructure relating
to location and operation of power, water supply and telecommunications,
land-use planning, national statistics, scientific research institutions
and banks. What is left, I ask, for terrorists?" (James Sinnamon)*
