It was predictable. I was in fact waiting for it to occur and was
wondering how long it would take before we saw commercialism
raise its ugly head and restrictiveness become the rule as the
presiding paradigmatic representation. It assuredly bucks
against the pure phreaker mindset, as was originally
out-pictured in years gone by. In our so-called progressive
world, I am afraid money speaks the loudest and the longest.

I think as time progresses you'll see the bulk of that which
was free in the past turning the commercial route.

Like once upon a time you could walk into the local Post Office
and browse freely (in both senses) through a hard-copy electoral
roll.

What is the situation with them now? Public library??

Intrstingly, that page states "The roll is not available for sale in
any format". Maybe the key words are "for sale", as local pollies
get their state roll supplied FOC on CD.

If it's available to view electronically at their offices, I wonder
why they couldn't put it on the web?

They are a bit slow on the update at the AEC, my local member won in a
landslide (as usual) but according to the aec I don't have a local
member.

Thats not the electoral roll, thats the election result.

The AEC only updates the final election result when the ballot is declared
and that wont happen for about a week
now with most of the seats, they have to allow a couple of weeks for all
the postal ballots to have come in.

And even then the result can be legally disputed at times too.

They can, but choose not to.

Because you have to manually transcribe it there.
Online, you could automate it and pull the lot for junk mailing, etc.


Surely they could restrict the way in which you search it, like the
