Doesn't matter what you see
Or to do with what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I say

Independence limited

Freedom of speech is words
that they will bend
Freedom with their exception
Freedom no longer frees you

Even the anonymous web log statistics would be valuable, I am sure the operator could sell that information. Given businesses desire to maximise returns on investment I think there is a high likelihood that the information will be sold, if not in the beginning then some time later.

And people like Bob Carr wax lyrical on the fact that Australia does NOT need a Bill of Rights!?!
Who does Bob work for currently?
There’s your reason!
