Actually, we've known about this sort of thing for a while. We don't get all paranoid about civil rights as much as others...
The crux of it is, if you're not doing anything wrong, then you've got nothing to worry about.
If you read it carefully you'll see that most of those comparisons are 'per capita', which is the oldest scare tactic used here. We only have 19-odd million people, US has about 260M (rough figures) so, yeah, it's going to be a high figure when compared 'per capita'.
Don't worry, you'll all catch up to us soon. At least ASIO declares what it does to its public...
