I believe that the government has definitely gone too far with this one. In the future if they begin to monitor our private calls, text messages and emails how do they expect the few terrorists in Australia (if there are any at all) to be so stupid to even send an email saying lets blow up a landmark?? I certainly don't think the government will find anything if they do start it except for “hey, what are you up to on the weekend?" and such comments definitely WON'T help them into arresting potential terrorists!

I'm not going to attempt to answer your broad assumptions and rhetorical questions. Interception/bugging has been an international practice since 1914. So "cops and robbers" take it for granted. Lets just say past terrorists in Australia have not relied on carrier pigeons. Pete http://spyingbadthings.blogspot.com/ Posted by plantagenet, Sunday, 2 April 2006 2:40:42 PM

ASIO and the AFP have sufficent powers already. Look at the combination of the new IR laws, the extension of Defence powers at times of an emergency and you have ingredients for increasing totalitatrianism

Well they will be now as the site is getting over 10,000 hits a day for the past 2 weeks and I've replied to 100's of emails some with more to add. Worth a read. Another perspective for you all I hope.
