I'll wait until those activists will start falling out of the windows. Should not take long with the way things are going. Same shit in Canada. All because we do not really have rights. They are bestowed on us by our masters and can be taken away.

This is a state level ruling, not federal. Blame the NSW government, not Australia as a whole. I'm not saying the feds are innocent either but this was not their doing.

You're not wrong but, with the previous Federal government at least, it was a very short line to draw between the two.

Fingers crossed the government change undoes at least some of the last decade of damage - already dropped the case against Bernard Collaery, which is at least a little ray of sunshine following a cloudy winter.

see for example The Capability, which had all state governments wilfully submit to the feds, in handing over state-held license photo data to enable construction of a national facial recognition system. The only jurisdiction to seek any limitations to how The Capability can be used against aussie citizens was (drumroll...) ACT.
