I would very much like to know what various people think about the $1.6m announced to go toward CCTV not only in Manuka, Kingston & Civic but also Manuka Oval, EPIC, Canberra Stadium and all ACTION buses as part of this year’s budget.
I am doing research (very belated so fire away) for an assignment and am curious as to what people think – I have only found media releases thus far and agree with many of the points raised as to the necessity of CCTV but I’d value some input because part of me loves the potential for Orwellian undertones to this.
I’ve looked to the British experience briefly as well so … how do you feel about being watched?
