Hi Scott,

I think when it comes to digital rights, a few things stand out to me as needing emphasis:

  1. Ceasing the mass surveillance on Australian citizens without warrant
  2. Transparency in what information our government and allies have collected/are collecting about us
  3. Fending off Internet censorship
  4. Ensuring net neutrality
  5. Addressing the Trans-Pacific Partnership intellectual property provisions

Since the web is still so young, I think a lot of Australians dismiss it as being a lesser media in the eyes of the law, where I think we need our rights in this new landscape just as much as in the physical world.

Hi Dr Karl!

Is the whole universe the same age?

If it all started with the big bang and expanded (still expanding?), then couldn't you say that the outer parts of the universe are older than that towards the centre?

Great points!
