Australia begins mass data retention under new law
-
Large amounts of telecommunications metadata must now be kept for two years by Australian telecommunications companies, under a new law which came into effect on Tuesday.
It covers data on who called or texted whom and for how long, as well as location, volume of data exchanged, device information and email IP data. It also makes it much easier for authorities to access the records. The new law has caused heated debate among Australians.

Nothing good is ever heard out of Australia. It seems like a constant stream of bad news.

We've completely derailed this thread (there I've said it).
It's like in the UK they used pissed to mean drunk and a fag is a cigarette. These just don't fly in the US.
-
Only in the US is calling cigarette a bundle of sticks to burn a bad thing but calling it a feminine cigar is okay.

Cigarette is the feminine form of cigarOh. OK so fag means that in the UK. since the US doesn't really have many words that masculine/feminine where is Cigar/Cigarette from?
