[LINK] VP Gore policy speech on privacy

[Howard Lowndes]

It seems that Australia is in danger of being the last of the developed
nations without adequate privacy laws.

It's good to see that there has been recognition that the govt's intended
use of the electoral rolls for little johnnies spam has been squashed, and
that the ATO will tighten up on ABN data availablility.

Why is it always necessary to scream so bloody loudly at this feral govt
before they can hear the ppl.

Howard.
