    "The massive industry and community response to proposed changes to security laws, shows just how strongly Australians feel about both Internet security and their right to privacy. \u2026 That is precisely why it is important that we have a neutral and open debate about these and other Internet policy issues, and why we have organised the auIGF to provide a forum for that discussion."
