Webdiary will soon (13 December) be moving to our permanent home, and bidding farewell to Typepad. When we do, the design of the site will allow for a small number of adverts, in the sidebars and above the heading - but not within the articles or comments. Details of ad sizes and costs set out here ... David Roffey, GM Webdiary [ category: ]

G'day. The Senate Inquiry report into the Anti-Terrorism bill was released today at 4.30 pm. Labor and Liberal have come together with a bipartisan report that gives maximum power to small 'l' Liberals in their dealings with Howard. Here are the recommendations and the chapter two overview.

G'day. I'm at Parliament House and it's delivery day for the Senate Inquiry into the proposed Anti-Terrorism Bill (No 2) 2005. The Senate Report will be published this afternoon and will recommend the removal of the sedition provisions in the terror laws. This finding was unanimous, and sets the scene for a showdown with Howard by small l Liberals, just as occurred with his terror laws in 2002. [ category: ]

"The exceptional needs of combating terrorism used to justify the provisions of the The Anti-Terrorism Bill (No 2) 2005 have at the same time enabled their extension to include measures that would not otherwise be readily accepted within the criminal justice system. These political and legal innovations have drastically affected the capacity for citizens to engage in the full and open political communication essential to democratic participation, ‘an informed and engaged public realises the promise of liberal democracy and fulfils its ideal of citizenship’. Good public policy thrives on debate, encourages difference and welcomes dissent. Insulating the security sector from open debate, critique and alternative approaches, cannot lead to the best policy outcomes." Jenny Hocking [ category: ]
