Stop spying Big Brother

THE NT Police spend 88,000 hours tracking citizens.

An average wage for a police officer is $30 per hour.

That equates to $2.5 million of taxpayers' money the NT Police spends spying on people in the Territory.

That does not include Federal Police or departments within Australia's "intelligence community" and other agencies such as customs and the military.

Shouldn't this money be spent helping citizens instead of destroying our natural rights to protect us?

Why do we need to be monitored that much?

Are we that bad?
