I think it is awesome that we can discuss such an important issue in a open forum and many people have also actioned their displeasure with the bill. There are plenty of places around the world where that isn't possible.
Dead right Teamandy.
Try protesting in Russia, Egpyt, Syria at present, at least Minto and his rent a mob can walk up our streets and be afforded Police protection. Do people really think that NZ governments are going to turn NZ into a rigid do as you are told place. I would much rather state authorities have powers that can stop all sorts of wrongs, we need to keep certain groups and individuals under survallence.
I also think people have also got their heads firmly in their arses if they dont recognise that there is a lot of imformation out there that is already known about their financial dealings, employment status, and others to.
