反恐的結果是對內的壓制, 澳洲近日正在討論反恐法, 若通過, 政府對社會的控制, 將如奧維爾的1984; 因為任何公民抗命和政體變革的力量都會被視為恐怖主義!
若放在香港, 敵視基本法或政府的行為亦會視為恐怖主義, 當年倒董大遊行就明顯是恐怖主義了!

Orwell's 1984 in Australia
It's the Anti-Terrorism Bill 2005 and, if passed by the Australian senate, will probably become the Anti-Terrorism Act 2005. And that's The Law for those who aren't familiar with workings of the Australian government.
One of the most frightening things about this document is it's definition of "seditious intent", which reads
(3) In this section:
seditious intention means an intention to effect any of the following purposes:
(a) to bring the Sovereign into hatred or contempt;
(b) to urge disaffection against the following:(i) the Constitution;
(ii) the Government of the Commonwealth;
(iii) either House of the Parliament;(c) to urge another person to attempt, otherwise than by lawful means, to procure a change to any matter established by law in the Commonwealth;
(d) to promote feelings of ill-will or hostility between different groups so as to threaten the peace, order and good government of the Commonwealth.
...The Sydney Morning Herald reports "Australian intelligence authorities have received specific information about a terrorist threat in Australia, Prime Minister John Howard says. As a result, an amendment to Australia's anti-terror laws making it easier to prosecute people thought to be planning a terrorist attack has been rushed into parliament today."
You can read the draft document here. Just ignore the warning on the first page stating "DRAFT-IN-CONFIDENCE - This draft is supplied in confidence and should be given appropriate protection."
And then kick up the biggest stink about this that you can (because you might not be allowed to for much longer).
International readers - help us out on this one...please?
