Public Domain and ease of information (Score 2, Informative)

I'm pretty sure that if they gave this order under the guise of deterring "terrorism" it's pretty much in vain, in that more valuable intel is already available in the public domain, weaknesses in any event should be known, just as code audits are released in the public domain. I can think of 1 site off the top of my head that is pretty big on releasing "Eye-Ball-Series" on industrial, government, and public facilities

Liberty Victoria is the aussie's version of Amerika's ACLU, I've always envisioned AU's law as pretty right on and have taken a liking to most of their politics (with the steady decline of my countries) altho this seem just to be some unrelated bullying more than an overt government policy to prevent terrorism.

On a completely unrelated side note, I heard from a friend of mine in AU said that the Adelaide Museum director said they couldn't seel the $200,000 AUS valued whale vomit ball as under federal law it's part of a whale and therefore protected. She also went on to say that they could donate the item to the Adelaide Museum for display indefinately.
