Gee Wizz Chris, it is obvious that you have not been mugged by reallity yet. What definition is terrorism are you subscribing to, The one where Moslem's fly Aircraft into buildings, or The Moslems that assault,Murder, rape, Robb, Harrass you in your home in Australia just because we are infidel type and un belivers, and permission is granted by those of the Fifth column subscribers.
Perhaps there is something in what you say, BUT, if the Occupation of Foreign Ideology did not exist here in the first instance, then harder or strict laws would not be needed, after all, the wet lettice Justice system we have now, serves the Occupying Foreign Ideology well, and against our own Existance.

People should remember that Civil Rights and RIGHTS generally are a Post Modern fallacy, You and me and all of us only have the Privillage of what others have afforded to us in the past, and by their contribution we exist, not the Occupying Ethnic's who want to destroy you.

To scooper9,

Not only did I grow up in the heart of Faifield/Cabramatta/Liverpool etc,and experienced first hand
the ethnic gang violence at school and at the shopping malls, I
have looked into this matter quite deep actually.
True I can't get exact figures relating the TRUE ethnic-crime
connection, which are "treasonously" hidden by the likes of Don Weatherburn from the ABS with the help of extremists like Scott Pontyn, but all one has to do is read all of the crime reports
dating back to 1990, cross-refernece demographics + violent crime +
Local Gov.Area and you will find that the crime rates for the areas where the ethnic enclaves are(particularly Bankstown with the Lebanese muslims, and Fairfield/Cabramatta with the Vietnamese and other)is many,many times higher than other LGAs with comparitive
populations and unemployment rates. For instance, one would expect Newcastle, Gosford, Woy Woy or Campbeltown(Areas with high unemployment and majority non-Lebanese/Vietnamese demographics) to have high violent crime rates, drugs etc just like Bankstown or Fairfield right? Well it is not the case. Go down to Goulburn Gaol and look for yourself who is in there : 22% ABoriginal,30% European Aust, 50% Middle Eastern/Vietnamese, even though these two groups(Lebanese Muslim & Vietnamese) only make up about no more than 8% of Aust.population. While on the record most of the non-Anglos are "Aust. Born" so you don't take notice. Remember the Skaf gang rapists? They pack raped "Aussie SLuts" as a fully-fledged racist attack but they are officially categorised as "Aust. Born" and "Caucasian". If this is not purposefully misleading then what is?
Check for yourself. While you are there, ask Mr Weatherburn and Pontyn why they try to hide statistics if there is no link. Ask them why they have a descriptor of "Caucasian" which covers all Europeans + Middle Easterners, which effectively blankets any attempt one has at clearly trying to guage the ethnic/crime connection. As for the gang rapes: there are no official statistics,but is you search carefully you find a similar situation all over Western Europe with their Muslim diasporas.

Matt,

If you had looked into the matter quite extensively then you may have an answer as to why most states find it problematic to keep ethnic crime figures. Try looking at the www.aic.gov.au website.

Secondly- regarding the gang rapes. It was alluded to in the media that the victims were in fact anglo-celtic females. In fact out of 7 victims only 3-4 were in fact Anglo-celtic. Another fact is that in northern NSW there are more reported sexual assaults then there are Bankstown etc, and there are fewer muslim Australians living in northern NSW than in Sydney

The following statement much underlines what I have been stating for so long;

The Age Friday 23-9-2005 letters; Are we on a slow march to fascism?

WHEN the Second World War was closer in people’s memories the question was often asked: Why did the ordinary German people apparently do nothing to stop Hitler’s extreme fascist policies of concentration camps, the “final solution” and the like.
What we used to forget in asking this question was that a fascist state in an ostensibly democratic system does not arise overnight. Hitler’s expansionism began in 1939, but he had had six years before that to offer the German people solutions on economical and efficiency grounds, and to prepare them with propaganda for the extremes of later years.
It appears that a similar situations occurring in Australia. Each time a clear breach of freedom is perpetrated by the government, we see it as an isolated incident and, encouraged by the prevailing mantra, “move on” to something else.
But we now have a government in Australia that has concentration camps in which it imprisons men, women and children without charge or trial: it deports activists because it doesn’t like their message: it declares parts of Australia to be no longer parts of Australia for certain classes of people: and it contemplates such egregious infringements of civil liberty as preventive detention.
Australia is not yet a fascist state. But the idea is not so fanciful, particularly when the government has the benefit of two ill-defined enemies – illegal immigrants and terrorist – and has the perpetual war on terror to justify any action it wants to take and can persuade people to accept in their name.
If Australia becomes a fascist state, it will do so gradually and by accretion of small deprivations of liberty. We can accept each one as a minor irritant, or we can see the big picture and object forcefully to each one as a building block in our eventual prison.
Once the walls get too high, it will be too late.
Steve Hallwell, Fitzroy North

I would suggest we are living in a Fascist state, and have done so for 30 odd years +.
We have been controlled and manipulated by leftist movements that aspouse to Marxist and other philosophical corrupt doctrines for some time.
The Marxist hatred for the middle class has given birth in Western civilizations to the "New Third World Reich" to a point it can be interprited as Race Replacement, Government sponcership. Tax Payer funded self anhillation.Islamic Imigration and third word Imigration will leave a less pallitable future for our children and Western Civilization's future. With all the Brainwashing taking place by our Media, and our supposid Education system, as well as the leftoid worship of Universal Utopia and and a Labotomized total Dennial of Reality. The only other leftist Ideology that will destroy prolatateriat is Fascism,along with the power elites.Part Government and part Elites, THey have made massive inroads already, may well be too late. The Fifth column is at work as we speak.
And If you may think this is allarmist, you better aquaint your selves with History books, not Fascist re Written versions , The real Lost Civilization's, and Why, That will all sound familiar today. But their A'int anyone left to save you. Western Civilizations are nearly Null and Void.Thanks, Thanks Very Much.

Can I just ask, why are there so many people that associate being left-wing with Marxism? I have been pretty far to the left as long as I can remember, and I have never, NEVER, read a word of Marxist literature.

This seems to be a common debate style of conservative people, they make up things about you and then criticise you almost solely on the thing they made up.

Whoever: ‘You’re a Marxist! See, the problem with Marxism is blah blah blah’
Me: ‘Hey hey hey whoa! I’m not a Marxist!’
Whoever: ‘Yeah, that’s what all Marxists say. Marxists also say blah blah blah’

I’m a proud member of the United Peoples Democratic Socialist Communist Anarchist Athiest Alliance Party (or the UPDSCAAAP), and nothing else!
