These are noble goals, but not all of politics is noble. I think I can be fairly sure when I say that opening themselves and their families up for opportunistic abuse and harassment is not one of the reasons they put their names forward for council. Being the subject of stalking or having anonymous hate mail hand delivered to their house, these are not the reasons that people stand for council. Those activities serve no good purpose in our free and democratic society. Some people will say that this is, unfortunately, one of the consequences of standing for public office. "You are a public figure.", they may say, and with that comes a need for transparency. And that may be true, but we're dealing with more than a theoretical concept. We know that too much transparency can be harmful to people's privacy, it can be harmful to people's safety. This bill is about balancing privacy and transparency.
