Hi list(s)
The Government is pushing through this amended bill under urgency - along with the GCSB��Amendment��bill.
I've only had a quick read but it already made me feel pretty angry.��
Instead of just bitching about it on IRC and twitter and at bus stops to confused elderly people, I thought I'd try and do something - and I had a chance to speak with Clare Curran (Labour MP) recently about it.
She suggested she would support fighting / commenting against this bill, with help and advice.
The problem is most people voting for it have no idea what it means or is for.
We (you - Network Operators and IT Professionals, hi!) need to advise and talk and share information about what these changes really mean - and if they're good.
The Tech Liberty NZ website has some good reading and a bit of a summary on the TICS Bill��
and the scoop links to the full bills are here:
TL;DR:
The new TICS bill has some changes that could impact the way you do networking in New Zealand - and if you care you should say something.
Beers,
