week 8 lecture

In this lecture we learnt about Cyber Politics and eDemocracy which is the Internets role in political campaigning and other government use of the internet to raise awareness on issues.I also learnt that Australia doesnt have the constitutional right to free speech this really surprised me, I know that America has it but I at least thought we had some sort of right to it since this isn't a communist country. We also discussed the issues of Hackers and I got the feeling the lecturer was saying that hacking was a good thing but maybe I didn't read it properly, regardless I diagree why should anyone have the right to hack into my computer to access my private information and photographs.
