오스트레일리아 정부는 대브리튼 그들이 그것의 시민에 감시의 수준을 증가시키는 만큼 따라잡는다 게임에서의 포함되는 것을 보인다. 지금 뉴 사우스 웨일스에 있는 50의 학교 상공에 교실에 있는 CCTV 사진기를 학생과 교사를 감시하기 위하여 설치했다.

많은 학교는 운동장에 있는 이미 사진기를 이용하고 있다 그러나 교실 감시의 이 새로운 측정은 지금 빅 브라더 작풍 체계에 대하여 만큼 교사에게서 고민 반응을 밖으로 말하고 있다 도발하고 있다.

Defending the system, a NSW Department of Education spokesman said: “Not all schools are suitable for CCTV cameras, due to the size and physical layout of the school.

“Where this and legal or privacy issues are raised, a school is recommended to use another effective security measure or a combination of measures. The footage from CCTV cameras is confidential and is released to the police to help with their investigations in the case of criminal activity impacting on the school,” he said.

However, Bob Lipscombe, senior vice-president of the NSW Teachers Federation said: “Teachers are concerned about its improper use and that it may be taken out of context.”

Where is this information kept and who has access to it? How long will it be stored for and has the system been fully tested for security? These questions have yet to be answered.

A report last week revealed at least 40,000 CCTV cameras are in operation in Melbourne and the number is growing as the Australian government has been inspired by the UK on how to monitor its citizens, with no regard for personal privacy.

Global surveillance is on the increase with the UK pioneering the Big Brother template. America is also upping the level of state sponsored surveillance, with Bermuda, China, Australia and Ireland quickly following behind.

Besides the obvious privacy issues, the technology being used is not up to par and is very insecure. With the advancement of Wi-Fi, a whole new set of problems arise opening the doors to hackers and give them the ability to spy on us and record our movements.

Other concerns with the surveillance society are; how this data can be used, where it is kept and the length of time is it stored for, who has access rights to the data and who makes the decision to what is acceptable behaviour?

As seen in the UK, the Data Protection Act was created to merely humour privacy advocates and does not work under real life conditions.
