/"The Age/ has lost a freedom of information battle against a state government body that claimed it would take 24 years and cost nearly $1 million to process two requests."

"Ms Lambrick said she found it ''surprising'' that the government's centre for information and technology excellence ''would not have the sufficient equipment for this request to be processed''. CenITex's estimate of one hour to restore each encrypted email was, she said, ''staggering''."

"centre for information and technology excellence" can't restore emails? Are you kidding me?

It's pretty easy to understand the arguments from the "taxes are theft" crowd when you see things like this.
