Well, that's all right then!

Justice Minister Annette King has told Parliament that the Electoral Finance Bill is not bad, because despite all the bad clauses restricting freedom of speech they are over-ridden by the law of common sense. Right - Problem solved. Call off the protests and put away the placards.

Or am I just paranoid that it is not the intent of Parliament that counts, but the interpretation of what is written. And what is written is that all forms of communication that draw attention of any political issue to the public is being regulated.

I'm for the open disclosure of electioneering advertising material - but having a talk with someone about politics would be captured by this law. So I'll still be there tomorrow.
