The Australian Privacy Commissioner issued a statement in response to the Snowden leaks that "the federal Privacy Act does not apply in situations where the gathering of Australian user data is in conjunction with an overseas law." It makes me feel rather uneasy that our government doesn't protect our privacy from overseas interests and enthusiastically cooperates with them. How could Australians challenge this?

Thank you for your response Michael/ Well, I have done that, but I find that most people are rather apathetic or perhaps the issue is so overwhelming that to most it seems like there's nothing they can do... Isn't espionage generally considered a hostile act? Why then there isn't more outrage around the world and why only few South American countries are taking action?
