ARE YOU TERRIFIED ENOUGH TRUTH-SEEKER?
AUSTRALIA: Who cares about history and legal precedence when 3,000 people died in 9-11 in the USA?
Who cares about history and legal precedence when john HoWARd took us to an illegal and degrading war that would last for years and terrorise the whole community at large?
Who cares about history and legal precedence when our citizenry have been kidnapped and tortured?
Who cares about history and legal precedence when our citizenry are alleged to be terrorists, suspected, and detained indefinitely as scapegoats for the war on terror, which is terror?
Who cares about history and legal precedence when 182 people died in Bali?
Who cares about history and legal precedence when 50 people died in bombings in the UK?
Who cares about history and legal precedence when you can't go on holiday's and travel oversease in peace?
Who cares about history and legal precedence when 27 people died in Bali?
Who cares about history and legal precedence when the major political parties do not oppose illegal and degrading war?
Who cares about history and legal precedence when we are surrounded by 80 terrorists who have done training and are ready to blow us all up?
Raising the stakes
Who cares about history and legal precedence when we could be taken out by a dirty bomb any time soon?
Who cares about history and legal precedence when we are surrounded by 800 terrorists who have done training and are ready to blow us all up?
So for all these reasons you should be terrified of history and legal precedence?
ARE YOU TERRIFIED ENOUGH TRUTH-SEEKER?

ASIO laws: Don't be silenced
The proposed new offense of sedition is defined, in part, as bringing the sovereign (Queen Elizabeth) into hatred or contempt, or urging another person to attempt, other than by lawful means, to achieve a change by breaking any of Australia's laws, or to promote feelings of ill-will or hostility between different groups that threaten the peace, order and ``good government'' of the country.

Open Letter to Australian Senate
Every West Australian needs to take note of the proposed terror legislation that will be debated in the Senate next Tuesday. Our own Premier has sold us out, and the time has come for some serious and organised protest in WA to protect our democracy and civil liberties. Write to the Senate, to the papers, and to every political party. This is a fundamental issue that affects the future of our society.

Cracks in terror solidarity
But Mr Howard's push is in trouble as a growing number of solicitors-general, senior members of the bar and legal bodies are swaying premiers to take more time to examine the bill, its judicial safeguards and the possibility it will be struck down by the High Court as unconstitutional.

How's this for sedition?
I have read the proposed anti-terrorist bill and see that reference is made to sayings and acts done in good faith. I make as clear as possible, in terms as unambiguous as possible, that in urging disaffection - and hatred and contempt - I am motivated by no sense of good faith whatsoever.

When Terrorism Outlaws Democracy
Federal and state leaders sold out democracy when harsher laws were agreed at the Terror Summit. The stronger laws potentially threaten to target Muslims and dissidents with searches, raids, and secret detention. In a country without a Bill of Rights, the draconian Terror Laws set us up for police statehood.

They know where you live
But lawyers worry that promises of "judicial review" will not amount to a real safeguard for those detained. Barker says: "It doesn't make oppressive laws any less oppressive because you involve judges somewhere in the process. And if I were a judge I would think very carefully before lending my name to an oppressive process."

John H.o.W.A.R.d line roars at Fascism Week
Embellishments of all kinds -- detention, deportation, fines -- were evident on the dogwalks this week, as were masculine details such as ASIO, security risk, threats and new anti-liberty laws. Even those signs came off more like criminogenic intellectual slavery and less harsh than the nasty, over-the -top feelings of many suspected terrorists detained last season. That's a joke son!

Tell Your State Premier: Don't Do Ruddock's Dirty Work
Over the past several years, the Howard government has passed a series of dangerous new laws. These laws have undermined our basic legal and democratic rights.
Now the Government wants to go even further. But this time, there's a hitch. The government wants to pass a new law that is forbidden by our Constitution - so they need the States to do it for them.
