There are different initiatives. Behind the scenes we’re lobbying ministers. This proposed legislation is a threat to civil liberties and freedoms. We cannot allow this authoritarian clampdown. We’re also taking legal action. We’ve uncovered a number of interesting precedents and legal strategies that we’re sure Government lawyers won’t see coming! And then there’s the PR strategy. we’re generating stories and memes and placing them in the news and social media and of course managing that buzz. Yes, we do have other strategies in reserve. But we don’t want to engage in direct action after all. It’s not in our programming.
