I wrote about this on our research blog at http://cappe-postgrads.blogspot.com/2008/04/is-losing-employee-consent-price-to-be.html My Canadian housemate said to me this morning when I told him what was going on, "Hang on, didn't you just vote in a liberal government?" which I think sums up the whole thing quite nicely.

Employers snooping on employees? Australia's infrastructure is not at risk from employees. It is at risk from the rent-seekers who now nominally own and couldn't care less about our infrastructure other than as a source of income for their greedy foreign shareholders. Shareholdrs such as the Singapore Government a bastion of democracy. Look at Loy Yang Power, they are so serious about terrorism they won't spend the money on security at a level that will stop a few unarmed greenies shutting down their power station with a few cahins and padlocks. Are these the employers you want to give more power to? It's a joke. I have often thought, and it is now quite clear to me that when you vote for a government in this country all you are doing is voting for the is next PR company for big business. I exepected it of Howard I didn't exxpect it of you! Julia, You’ve lost me. Employers snooping on employees? Australia’s infrastructure is not at risk from employees.
