I can see the point in businesses monitoring internet usage - my own employer does that, but then as a part of the government, my employer is answerable to the taxpayer about how their taxes are spent. If they were to reveal that in any given week, non-business related sites were visited during working hours, to the tune of a whole person's time, then there would be a public outcry.

It may only be 15 minutes here, 30 minutes there, but if you added them all up, it could be the equivalent of 3 people doing nothing but surf the 'web for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, when they are being paid to provide a service.
