If Police State means deporting potential terrorist then let it be a Police State. Those who object are free to leave. Maybe they want us to becaome a total mess like Greece and other European countries.

Paul,

No need to thank me. It's my pleasure. But you are the one insulting the intelligence of people who actually remain calm and wait until the truth emerges. Even after you have heard (assuming you actually listen to anyone else) that the whole thing was caused by a poorly worded press release, inflated by a bunch of moronic feral demonstrators, you still want to keep up the rant. And, the suggestion that Australia has any chance of becoming a police state can come only from a ranter and raver.

You want to talk about insults. Just look at yourself. You are insulting Australia and most Australians by spouting this drivel.

Paul,
Yes but Socialist Alternative, The Socialist Alliance and the Socialist Equality Party actually describe themselves as Trotskyites and regularly hold lectures and study sessions all about Trotsky, what else are we supposed to call them?
The Anarchists describe themselves as Anarchist, the Spartacists describe themselves as Communist but can you tell me the name of one single group or individual on the scene at the moment who describes themselves as Nazist or National Socialist?

Dear Paul,

Last year there was a revelation that members of the
Royal Australian Navy responsible for carrying out
"Operation Sovereign Borders," were also members or
supporters of the anti-Muslim Australian Defence League.
This caused a great deal of embarrassment to the
authorities. It also generated no small amount of
concern amongst the broader public.

Perhaps that's why Melburnians took so strongly to the
streets recently.

Dear Paul,

I forgot to add this other website that

It's worth a read.

Foxy, there were only 50 people at Friday's protest on Flinders St and they were almost all Socialist Alternative's usual rent a crowd of paid agitators. Look a the photos, even The Age put the number of protestors at 50, though they did post photos of the crowd mingled with pedestrians and passers by at one of Melbourne's busiest intersections.

Look at the photo and notice the crowd waiting to cross the road at the top left: http://www.abc.net.au/news/image/6732944-3x2-700x467.jpg
This is what the rally looked like when the pedestrians began to cross: http://goo.gl/uHrFEb
The massively exaggerated figure given by the ABC of 200 people is not a big rally for Melbourne but the real number of protestors was no more than 50-75 at most.
