Infiltrator

My thoughts,

Proposing to allow the people of Australia access to Australian Government information FOR A FEE is almost criminal. We already own the information and we pay for it with our taxes. Asking for us to pay for it again (in access) is totally insane. The Government is the representative of the people, they work for the people. They are not separate from or above the people.

I have 2 questions
1. Please tell me where I can get an ODBC level connection into the Directory Assistance data store. This information is publically owned (at least until Sensis was privatised. I still don’t understand how the Government can sell something they DID NOT OWN, in the real world it called theft.). I should not have to BUY a CD of the White Pages to get this information.
2. Please tell me where I can go on the net to listen to police radio in NSW. From what I have been informed, Police radio has now been encrypted so we CAN’T listen to it even if we buy scanners, even though we pay for it in our TAXES.

If you don’t believe we can have access to OUR (not YOUR) information for free, then the government needs to increase funding to get to the MINIMAL level of funding to do the job the department should have been doing.

I’ll have a think about where we can get the funding, even though we elected SENATOR CONROY to do that for us I Know I Know!!!

CAN THE BLOODY NET FILTERING PROPOSAL AND USE THE MONEY TO DO YOUR JOBS!

Is that put plainly enough for you?
