    Would other countries celebrate any of Australia’s holidays? I think not.
    ANZAC Day is a good example.

    A friend just saw my comment and complained about personal privacy. OK
    Consider the number of times your picture has been taken by cameras in every location you have gone into in the past year. What would that total? 50,000, 100,000, 500,000 times you have been recorded without your knowledge.
    Everywhere you go today there are cameras. Once you leave your home there is no expectation of privacy, in my opinion.

    I’m not uncomfortable. This will probably go a long way to preventing theft. Bear in mind the costs of theft are borne by every paying customer. Insurance costs might be reduced using intelligent systems. If it reduces logistics costs then the savings can also be passed to customers. Overall, if it helps reduce prices I’m for it.
