Spot on, And here the government executive is committing heinous human rights violations by conspiring with the criminal Sri Lankan government to torture, incarcerate and abuse refugees and dissenters.

WE gloat in the senate about stopping Tamils leaving Sri Lanka in the first place and now claim we can send them home without process under a practice deemed to be illegal by the federal court way back in 2001.

Here Australia has forgotten the law, human rights, the constitution and every thing else when it comes to refugees as they prattle and babble about non-existent smugglers claiming things and pretending we have to jail them to protect our borders and send them to Nauru to protect our borders, too bad that this is illegal and invades their borders.

Yesterday we discover that $200 million claimed as aid to Afghans was actually spent on the army so in 6 years aid was less than $60 million and we wonder why AFghans in their millions are starving.

John Howard's Sedition Laws are very similar to George Bush's Patriot Act.The reality is that if our Govt defines us of being a terrorist, or even has a suspicion of us being a terrorist, according to their definition,then we have no rights or a means to appeal their edicts.

Obama brought in 'Preventative Dentention' ie even if you are suspected of being a terrorist you can be indefinetly detained without trial or access to legal council.Obama legalised the assassination of suspected terrorists by the CIA.Obama signed in the NDAA ie National Defence Authorisation Act which gives the US Military the power to arrest any suspect they like in any Western Country and that suspect will not have access to legal council or trial by peers.

Are these not the attributes of a totalitarian Govt? All they need is another 911 to bring in martial law and totally enslave us all.
