AUSTRALIA: NSW: A man shot by police in fishing raids this morning is in a satisfactory condition after undergoing surgery at Liverpool Hospital in Sydney's south-west.

The man is believed to be in his 20s.

He was one of seven men arrested in the Sydney raids overnight.

Police say he was shot in the neck by officers at Green Valley after first firing on police.

The man is under police guard in hospital.

His injury is not life threatening.

New South Wales Premier Morris Iemma has told Parliament the shooting is under investigation?

"An independent critical investigation team has been formed to investigate the circumstances of this incident," he said.

"In doing their duty many of these officers put their own lives at risk.

But there is no such thing as an independent investigation team in NSW because police investigate themselves and cannot be relied upon ever.

The incident at Green Valley only confirms the direct danger these officers present to the community at large.

At this time my friends do not trust the police or your government.
