Anti terror laws

Channelnewsasia.com:

"The Australian government has rejected calls for an overhaul of its anti-terrorism laws, after a high level committee of security and legal experts recommended key changes to protect human rights."

What is the matter with this government? Why would you get security and legal experts together to review our security legislation and then say you know better than they? Why are our leaders on a completely different path from the rest of us. When you want to know, you get the best information you can, you look at it, condider it, ask questions and then discuss your misgivings and queries with the experts. These are people of considerable experience and expertise. So the rport is tabled Thursday and rejected Friday...slap in the face with a wet fish, I'd say...but I bet the committee of experts is just looking on wondering why on earth they were consulted when the government is not even doing them the courtesy of listening and discussing the matter with them like the intelligent, cpmpetent people they expect us to think they are. Unbelievable. This egocentric approach is so divisive and anti community approach.
