[AusNOG] Dutton decryption bill

[Paul Julian]

Hi Robert,
 
I think it’s a perfectly valid point, so just out of interest what is ITPA’s plan to respond to this current situation ?
 
Regards
Paul

Hi Paul,
 
Where do you even start ?
I would love to be able to comment on these things properly but how do you structure a response that isn’t just a whinge and saying that it’s not fair and blah blah, it would need to offer alternatives or suggestions on how else this could be accomplished or why it shouldn’t be in the first place.
 
Apologies if this isn't considered appropriate on this list, but I think the point of joining representative organisations is important, especially on this topic.
 
Join a group like ITPA (it doesn't have to be ITPA, so this isn't "strictly" an ad - more a drive to get people participating in industry associations.  The more members we have, the stronger our voice.  We have commented strongly on this issue, and will continue to do so on this and other issues of importance to IT Professionals.
 
ITPA Associate membership is free.  Paid membership is less than the cost of a cup of coffee a week.
 
If not us, choose another representative organisation, and make sure your voice is heard.
 
If you (and others) don't, then things like Metadata Retention, breaking encryption, and goodness knows what they have up their sleeves next will continue to go through.
 
Regards,

Robert
