miriam_eHoward wants 107 pages of new "anti-terror" legislation to be passed in a single day. John Stanhope has leaked the document because he is appalled that the Howard government can be so irresponsible.
That a police state can be introduced in Australia overnight with virtually no argument from the Beazley opposition is astounding. That is is to be done under the pretext of fighting terror is not surprising. In truth the real terror is the desire for this kind of power.
If this legislation gets passed how long till we are able to throw it off? Do something now. Email, phone, write a letter, or walk into the offices of your local politicians. Make it known that you are not happy that this is being done.
More info, including contacts for all state premieres, federal and state political heads, the pdf file that was leaked, and what the proposed laws mean for us all.

Howard is a dangerous nut. He needs to read the brilliant Wendy Grossman's delightfully humorous article Spot the Terrorist at http://www.newswireless.net/index.cfm/article/2447
I love to read her technology pieces in Scientific American.
