There is a relatively large Australian expat community over here in Thailand and for many of them a bit part of why they moved here was because in Aus the government is all up in your business, all the time.
I think this bill is crazy, but when I talk to my Aussie friends about it, they aren't at all surprised.
The only thing that surprises me is the pace they are moving at on this legislative push to outlaw a basic freedom and the fact that they are meeting some resistance. What's the hurry I wonder.....?
