I remember it well as I was right there saying how rediculous it was. But when they came for the gun owners most australians had never owned a gun so they didn't speak up. Now they're comming for the internet users but only 3.5 million australians use the internet so the other 60 million havn't really spoken up. When they come for the encryption users and the bill posters will you speak up?
