The mayor of one of Australia's largest councils is refusing to back down amid a storm of controversy over listening devices installed on CCTV cameras.
The moves, believed to be a first in Australia, have been compared to George Orwell's Big Brother amid concerns from the Queensland Law Society and the Privacy Commissioner that it could be illegal.
