Melbourne raids
for Sri Lankan
Authorities?

AUSTRALIA: MELB: Australian Federal police have raided several Melbourne addresses while they say, they were investigating possible local links for Sri Lankan Authorities.

The Tamil Co-ordinating Committee of Australia building was among the targets of yesterday's raids, which were made in response they say, to a request from authorities in Sri Lanka.

So any country in the world can ask our country to raid someone, some group or oganisation when they have become suspicious that someone may be beyond their own reach or when there needs to be more terror hype in this country? What is this cross-country scapegoating?

Police would not confirm whether the investigation centred on more propaganda for john hoWARd (the cowards) Anti-Terrorist Bill and said the raids were not connected to the Operation Pandanus.

The Pandanus fishing expedition raids, in which 18 scapegoats were arrested this month were a wind up for john hoWARd's fear factor to help him push through his new draconian Anti-Liberty Bill at your peril.

But nobody was arrested yesterday.

Police inspected a van parked in the driveway of the Burwood East address and seized a book with what appeared to be a picture of an elephant and Tamil writing on its cover.

The caption on the cover seemed to read, "I remember the fear factor and the coward's war on terror. (Which is terror)." And "Any excuse with do".

Police also removed several folders and other items.

So next time your country of origin contacts our government they will then raid at will? Not very funny that aye! Not very funny either if your government just needs another example of terror so they can bend you over and penetrate you?

hoWARd, will keep chilling you!

CHILLING new propaganda tape send by john hoWARd the coward's mates from Indonesia should give him the political power to pass new 'Anti-Terror legislation' here.

Sending even more 'troops to Iraq' and or keeping those that are there longer, should also seem more feasible, in the current climate of 'fear' and 'terror' created by the authorities, both here and abroad, especially by our close neighbours Indonesia.

Man to stand trial because police said: he lied?

A Sydney man has been committed to stand trial on charges of lying to ASIO.

It wouldn't matter what it was about would it? Okay I'll tell you then!

Because police said Abdul Rakid Hasan lied to them 'twice' and now he has to prove that he didn't lie to them 'twice' by facing two charges one for each alleged lie?
