States approve new anti-terrorism laws. :
"Under the planned laws, state and territory police will be given extra tracking powers and will be able to detain terrorism suspects for up to two weeks without charge."
The state leaders and the Prime Minister were so excited today after their counter terrorism summit. They sounded very confident and very pleased with their efforts. We haven't heard any details yet other than the "sunset clause" newspeak being bandied around. So the laws have an expiry date. We are being told all these safeguards are in place to protect civil liberties. So now it's about the content of these changes. We'll have to wait and see I guess. I have never seen all the heads of state so relaxed and chortling. Should I worry???
