I didn't make that comment to have a political discussion, only to remark on the public's attitude to surveillance laws.

However, I would like to point out the legislation to force people to provide ID to use social media and dating sites has been in the works for some time.

Also note ALP's remarks on the bill, which call for sooner action and do not disagree with the report's findings.

Again, I'm not here to discuss partisan politics. I am only saying these laws seem to enjoy wide support.
