Aussie Opposition Slams Government Over Data Retention
It's control freaks vs. a more hands-off approach
Australia's opposition communications spokesman Malcolm Turnbull has made his strongest statement yet against the proposed data retention regime, asking an audience in Melbourne whether people are casting themselves into a "digital dungeon".
Delivering the Alfred Deakin lecture, Turnbull has created a poser for Australia's tech community: do they favour a government that's building a National Broadband Network but supporting data retention, or an opposition that opposes both the NBN and data retention?
