    That $400m data retention figure Abbott pulled out of his backside would mean a surveillance tax of $54 a year for every household.

        @BernardKeane I still don’t understand the point. Evidence fro O/S shows it will do nothing to prevent crime. Why do they want it?

        @DrRachie because security agencies instinctively want all the data they can get their hands on, and want to inflict a chilling effect

        @BernardKeane @daveyk317 that is just the start. Data growth is exponential and so will be the cost to store it.
