I guess most governments are informed by experts and lobbists. Considering
the IT industry is relatively new and that most computer programmers are well
paid and fairly happy with the conditions they work under, there has been
little need for a 'union' or for any kind of lobbying group to represent us.
The closest group that I can think of is the ACS - Australian Computer
Society. Perhaps we should all become members and get them to lobby Canberra
to add some informed perspective to the picture (not just online gambling,
but pretty much most IT issues)
