What a coincidence! Just as John Howard is forcing his secret "anti-democracy" (aka "anti-terrorism") laws through Parliament, ASIO announces a "likely" home-grown terrorist threat. Who are these terrorists? Where are they? if ASIO knows and these "suspects" are engaged in criminal activities, then charge then, arrest them, and put them on trial... otherwise, it's all idealogically driven opportunism of the kind the PM is an expert on.
Meanwhile, ASIO pays off a innocent couple who were raided "by mistake", shutting them up to avoid an embarrassing public outcry.
Under Howard's new laws, you wouldn't even know ASIO had stuffed-up... yet again! Farewell, australian democracy, we scarcely knew you.

The most dangerous "terrorists"
are of the fictitious kind.
We must never relent in our fight
against the horror that hides in
our mirrors!

Any opinion contrary to fucken Rodent will be illegal (not that you'll be charged with anything or go to court). Any criticism of fucken Rodent policy will be illegal (not that you'll be charged with anything or go to court). And when the Rodent fucks up (again!), you'll won't see, hear or read about it... Welcome to the Rodent's Reich!

But Beazley - the great defender
of truth, justice and the Oz way
would not allow the downtrodden
to be rolled out flat - would he?
Are we to be left to the tender
mercies of Uncle Suckhole then?
