On 14 December 1988, 4ZZZ was taken off air and forcibly evicted from its UQ premises by the then student union executive, headed by one Victoria Brazil. The move prompted many previously apolitical students to take a firm stand against the move and to rally support for the station. While Zed was not to return to the premises its' volunteers had helped hand-build, unprecedented community support saw the station live to fight another day.
UK proposes bill aimed at monitoring citizens web activity
The UK government has proposed a draft bill that would allow them to monitor citizens’ day-to-day lives by tracking their online activity, calls, text messages and mail.
The draft bill proposes that the data would be kept for up to a year, allowing authorities to browse through the information at any time.
Home Office Secretary Theresa May said that the proposals are “sensible and limited” and ordinary citizens will have “nothing to worry about from this new law”.
