Power

When you create a new power, don't look how it can be used for the benefit of population, but how the enemy can use it against you.

Unless Australia assumes people won't elect a government that will use that instrument to silence opposition and become in power in perpetuity. Unless they already are that kind of government.

Scary stuff.
