>keep Aussies safe over Christmas

Which is even more disingenuous when you consider that the bill won't even take effect until March, and probably won't lead to any backdoors until significant time after that.

you're preaching to the choir here mate. It's corrupt though-and-through, but the Murdoch media controls the narrative in this country, and the vast majority of Australians a) don't care and b) only consider the "but what about ISIS on whats app" argument.

How do you win in this scenario?

Oh, I was intending to preach to the choir :) Just pointing out a little bit of extra hypocrisy that some might have missed.

Honestly, I don't know how we could possibly win in this scenario. A corrupt media stoking unfounded fears in an ignorant public is a very powerful thing.
