The "you can't photograph us / our building, it's against the law" zeitgeist seems to be waking up in Australia. Here's a story from Boxing Day about a guy being harassed by the police for taking photos.
Soooo ... I was at North Wollongong Station the other day and there were a bunch of tourists taking photos of themselves on the platform until the station attendant told them that photographing the station wasn't allowed. I don't know where public officials get this idea from, but I suspect if they're not actually mistaken, then they should be.
I propose that it's time for some non-violent direct action. Let's pick a time and a date, go to our nearest contentious public space - train station, police station, town hall, anywhere else we can think of, en-masse and start taking photographs of them.
What do you reckon?
