Orgies of self-interest leave no room for sober justice
opinion As the saga surrounding the alleged hacker known as ‘Evil’ has gathered steam over the past 24 hours, I have become increasingly embarassed for Australia.
Embarassed for the ineptness and over the top vaudeville style of our police when tracking even mid-level Internet rogues. Embarassed at the appalling lack of technical understanding which our politicians have displayed when it comes to discussing cyber-crime, and the speed at which corporate interests have jumped on the bandwagon. And, of course, embarassed about how my colleagues in the media have reported events.
But most of all, I have become increasingly embarassed at the incredible callousness with which our society has seized upon an unproven crime to further its own diverse naked self-interest, with scant regard for apparent defunct concepts such as ‘truth’, ‘justice’ and that archaic concept which was once labelled ‘the presumption of innocence’.
