I think the saying better late than never definitely applies. Certainly we are behind most OECD countries as I think only Canada and Turkey have yet to pass such laws. Australia and the US both passed their laws in the last six months. The EU issued a directive a fair while ago, but many of their member states only implemented it within the last year. So we are behind, but not quite five years behind. Any law is unlikely to be passed until next year so maybe by then Bill Gates will have solved the problem, as promised :-) DPF

Hi all,
You may have seen that the Government has released a discussion document on anti-spam legislation for New Zealand.
It's mid-2004 now. Should this not have happened say five years ago?
