"Ag-gag laws usually claim to be about protecting farmers from animal
activists. But trespass laws already do that quite effectively. In
reality, ag-gag laws are mostly about preventing activists from
gathering photographic evidence of the poor conditions in which animals
are kept on some farms. Techdirt has written a number of stories about
ag-gag laws in the US, and how they are being ruled unconstitutional.
Now it seems that Australia is intent on bringing in ag-gag laws in
response to an upsurge in animal rights activism in the country."
