Hey Scott, I'm a current ALP member thinking of joining the Greens because the ALP has generally gotten terrible on every front.

The major parties are getting increasingly cartelised and I can't help but be pessimistic that vested interests will be able to ram through whatever draconian legislation they want. There seems to be a lack of decent backbench rebels in either major party here and I'm certain that something like the Amash Amendment in the USA wouldn't get traction in Canberra.

What can I do to stop the erosion of digital and civil liberties in Australia? Outside of small protests about things like SOPA/PIPA, what is there?

P.S. What the Wikileaks Party have done to you in W.A. is absolutely terrible, if there were more people like you in parliament the Senate would be a much better place. Best of luck for reelection.

How can I resist now?

I'd like to second this. If I remember correctly the ALP one has some element of privatisation and the Green plan doesn't.

Thanks for being awesome, from Australia.

I wish we could do more to help than just sign a petition (keen for you to imminently tell us what else to do). I emplore all foreigners to join the EFF and likeminded organisations, as well as local organisations (like EFA over here).

P.S. Here's Senator Scott Ludlam repping you guys in our senate today:
