Reactions to display of personal information can't properly be conflated with reaction to display of government secrets. The government is supposed to belong to the people. The likes of Gillard and McClelland and the US bombast meisters want us to believe the people should instead belong to the government.
You may be wrong in thinking that if the leaks become more than gossip and do real harm to the interests of the US administration and its more craven non-US satellites the public will turn against Wikileaks. What gave Daniel Ellsberg iconic status was the harm the Pentagon Papers did the colonialists in the USA. Ellsberg was embraced by millions because his revelations showed that the colonialists were lying their heads off, and implied the Resistance was winning the war. Until Ellsberg blew the whistle, few knew any of that.

Thanks Graham. This is really interesting material. I was one of the respondents. Like Dion (whose views about exposing the lies of empire I agree with) I don't think you can correlate answers about government information in this release and private information.

On commercial in confidence, I find it very suss when this becomes an excuse to make decisions on expenditure of public funds secret by wrapping projects in the "public private partnership" label.

There is a strong belief among political elites that they should have privileged access to information that the hoi polloi should not see.
This is bunkum.

People also show they understand that there is a clear line of distinction between private and public information and that they can see that the political class treats public information as if it is (their own) private information.
