Australia is one of the most aggressive countries in the world in terms of mass surveillance and its techniques could be the subject of future leaks, journalist Glenn Greenwald, who first reported on the Edward Snowden revelations for the Guardian, has said.
Greenwald, who now works for The Intercept, told ABC’s Lateline program on Thursday night that Australia is probably the country that has gotten away with things the most in terms of the Snowden revelations
.
There are interesting documents about what Australia is doing to privacy rights — not just to their own citizens Glenn Greenwald
Australia is one of the most aggressive countries that engage in mass surveillance as a member of the Five Eyes partnership,
he said, referring to a security sharing arrangement between the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
There has been less reporting on Australia than the other four countries. We intend to change that.
We are working on the reporting,
he continued. We will definitely get that done as soon as we can

You’d be tempted to pet the kittens by the pool, but look carefully, because mama is always watching. It’s true that bobcats are relatively small wildcats, and would normally avoid humans rather than engaging in violence, but a mother guarding her cubs will do anything to protect them. Redditor NotSure2505 posted this photo at a fenced-in yard in Scottsdale, Arizona. Don’t see the mother? You can enlarge the photo at imgur. He also posted some earlier photos of a bobcat on his fence and a coyote at his child’s school — via Neatorama
Fancy a change of scenery? You can do just that by hanging some of this New York and Paris wallpaper by Domestic.
Both represent the typical façades of a New York or Paris building. It is as simple as that. But it’s certainly effective. Especially the new York in that bold orange colourway. If that’s a but much, Paris offers something a little more subdued.
Each roll of paper is 250cm in height and around 93cm wide, selling for £82 per roll. That price probably means a feature wall or corner of a room rather than full coverage.
Both are available from Love The Sign — via Retro To Go
