The people killed by Muslim terrorists in Australia would have been interested to know that Binoy Kampmark deems their deaths were relatively insignificant, and their relatives will hopefully not read his insensitive comment.

After having a good old sneer at the only Australian politician who is taking Muslim terror seriously, he goes on to gripe about “indefinite detention” and monitoring of suspects. Well, fella, terror suspects should be locked up – and deported if possible – and the 400 people referred to as on an ASIO watch list should be off that list (nobody is actually watching them) and in clink. Anybody who thinks that persons intent on harming our society should not be locked up should also be locked up

yeah it would of been a lot easier if the pig headed lefist had not invited Islamic ideology to our shores. Now that they have created the problem they cry human rights abuses at any measures to protect the public from harm.

Hi Binoy,

You getting paid by the word ?

Interesting comparison: internment of innocents during the war, internment of suspects now. I had a step-grandfather interned here during the War. Jewish, Hungarian, so not a citizen, an 'enemy alien'.

But IF those current usual suspects show any link whatever to any terrorist, or terrorist cell, or terrorist organisation, then I would support internment without hesitation. In solitary confinement, with no contact, no phone, no nothing, with the outside world. For the duration of this vile war.

A number of remote councils have expressed interest in setting up the appropriate facilities. Betoota, Oodnadatta and Balgo are the most usual names bandied about, but Doomadgee, Nunjikompita, and Alpurruralam have put in bids.

Hopefully, this terrorist war will be over soon,say in the next twenty years. In the meantime, as the wheels of justice grind slowly, the lawyers can prepare their cases.

No rush.

come on LOudmouth they should be planted near ever regressive pollie and academic in Australia. Why should outback residents pay for their foolishness.

Good point, Runner :)

Maybe every pollie and academic who speaks out in favour of treating suspected terrorists and their sympathisers gently, can spend a week, or a month, each year familiarising themselves with their living conditions in neighbouring, and similar, accommodation. It would be good for them to actually get out of the cities and see the country, even just through a little window.

Oh, hello Binoy, didn't see you there :)

I'd be strongly opposed to the internment of people based on faith alone. Not so much if there is evidence of support for the jihadist position.

We prosecute people for possession of or for looking at child porn even though they may not have been directly involved in the physical abuse of children, it's hard to see a case that those who embrace the brutality of the jihadists are any less of a risk.
