Specific threat to our freedom
I so hope that John Howard’s announcement of a specific terror threat today, and his hurrying the anti-terror legislation through is not a cynical ploy to stifle debate and destroy our freedom.
But I just can’t trust the guy after all the lies we’ve been told.
Remember that the legislation was going to be pushed through on Melbourne Cup Day?
Please, members of the government. If you must rush this legislation through, put a sunset clause that kicks in after a month or two, and then let’s have a proper debate.
Dream on, Gra.
Yeah, I never made a very good student politician.
My dreamy ideals always got in the way of the good old screw-the-electorate behaviour expected of me.
Man, I’ve not lived in Aus for 15 years now but I didn’t trust the man even THEN!
There’s never an excuse for increasing police and intelligence powers except during a sustained campaign of violence leading to civil unrest. What gets me is that you are being cited as an example of minimal measures compared to what’s trying to be pushed through here in the UK.
