Bill passes but we're still left with 95% of the original bill. Public is happy because they thought they just saw democracy in action, gov laughs and rubs their hands because 95% of their draconion bill still got through parliament and got passed into law. Whos the real winner here? And don't laugh at that scenario. It happened here last year with the revised 92a bill The American gov must have finally clicked on what to do. Exactly!	Cato (6936)

Almost all who initially opposed it still oppose it, in its current form...	Chilling_Silence (9)
