Nice post Reason.

I revsisted these posts after an absence - oh my it has degenerated; its now little more than an undergraduate pissing contest: stop all this nonsense right now - Cup day is looming and not one tip mentioned; I nearely fell off my perch when I read a reference to FMG - How the hell did that topic get spliced into the thread.

Again I must add all this brou haha over a littel terorrist threat - get over it; the Windies are here - there is cricket in the air. This is Australia home to the Mulsim, the cricket player, home of Phar Lap ( a bit like the Finn Brothers, Russel Crowe and Sam Neill NZ born ) get focused on the Australian way of life and get off this topic.

When some one talks about Sacrificing, run like hell, another terminology that means they want to control who you are , what to think, and what to do. Fascism or Islam: both the same
By the way, when Left labour parties brought in the new religious vilification laws, how many Moslems stood up and or marched in the streets protesting for the rights of Christians or Jews etc, answer NONE. Let’s not forget to mention about our UK Moslems when Labour brought in Vilification laws, and how Islamic leaders wanted the Quran exempted from scrutiny: I wonder why that would be.
If you are not a terrorist, you have nothing to worry about, like if you do not rape women, you will have nothing to worry about, or if you do not rob banks, or Murder someone, No problems at all, unless you’re the victim.
Treason and Sedition charges ought to be stacked on the books once more then a lot of the lefts garbage and incitement would be taken care of. Sick and tired of the contempt for Australian society.One more step closer.

All-, you say that if we don't break the law we have nothing to fear from the proposed Anti-Terrorist legislation. Your confidence worries me, with the legislation as it stands, innocent people can be taken in and held with no need for official justification. DIMIA is a supposedly regulated Agency; yet, there have been numerous stuff ups perpetrated against innocent people. A bureaucrat with unbridled power, and not being accountable, is a frightening prospect.

Whether our politics are left, right or brindle, nobody is safe from these bureaucrats. Whether we are innocent or guilty is immaterial, there are no safeguards. The laws need to be drafted very carefully so they are Constitutional and provide watertight safeguards for innocent people.

Islamophobia means an irrational fear of Islam. Is it irrational to notice and ask serious questions about Muslim shenanigans worldwide? I won't give examples because of the 350 word limit on posts here, suffice to say, EVERY country on this fair planet, except maybe Iceland and Greenland has the 'Religion of peace' either preaching hate against Infidels in mosques, genocide, slavery, forced Islamization, persecution of non Muslims, bombings, matyrdom operations, calls for a global caliphate and sharia law, rapes, murder, honor-killings, terror cells, FGM, violent "immigrant" gangs, death-threats, calls to assassinate polititians, violence to homosexuals and prostitutes, forced marriages, destruction of churches/temples of non Muslims, whitewashing of history in universities/media, riots, beheadings, school sieges, theatre sieges, 'plane hijacks, arms, people and drug smuggling, religious vilification lawsuits, Christmas carol/Nativity play banning, banned sculptures/books/cartoons/films/paintings/ice-creams/pictures of pigs, taqiyya/kitman, money laundering, “morality police”, dhimmis, blood money, floggings, violations of Religious Freedoms, kidnappings, jihadi training camps, hate education in schools and madrasas, massacres of tourists, apostacy laws, rise in extremist Islam, economic mis-management, corruption, war etc etc. So those of us that have noticed these things happening and have bothered to study the Qur'an and sunnah and history (without resorting to believing Saudi-funded/BBC-apologist-propaganda whitewashes of history such as An Islamic History of Europe Parts 1&2 on TV) are projecting our ignorant hatred eh? Why don't you get another perspective and update YOUR ignorance by reading some Ibn Warraq, Ali Sina, Andrew Bostom (The Legacy of Jihad) and Robert Spencer?
Or are you only capable of watching the telly?"

Absolutely nothing irrational about that.

Yikes :(

On 7-9-2002, I filed a complaint with the Commonwealth Ombudsman to investigate the Australian electoral commission failure to check with people held in detention as to their right to vote. He refused to investigate. On 9-9-2002 I requested the JSCEM (Standing Committee on Electoral Matters) involving all political parties to investigate the same. They refused.
Now of course, that it is known that Australians were in fact wrongfully held in detention it shows that their bias conduct not to investigate ASSUMING that everyone held as a “suspect” was “guilty” of being unlawfully in Australia it underlines how we assume something (remember the WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION) without any evidence or bothering to check the facts. Had they then investigated my complaints then many Australians wrongly held could then have been released.
Now the anti-terrorist laws are designed to convict people where by jury it cannot be achieved!

It is evident from those enquiries that the SCC would not offer a viable alternative to the scheme of control orders that we have established under the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005. The SCC was established to provide for a trial—without a jury—of a criminal offence where there is a fear that a jury might be subverted by a terrorist organisation or organised crime. It sits with three judges instead of a single judge and a jury.
