Evans: moderate threat

Now whip it, into shape, shape it up, get straight, go forward, move ahead, try to detect it, it's not too late to whip it, whip it good!

it's not too late to whip it, whip it good!
it's not too late to whip it, whip it good!


Whip It!

Evans doubts reports
that 800 potential
terrorists are living
in Australia.

Whip it good! (Devo!)

AUSTRALIA: Head of the International Crisis Group and former Labor foreign minister Gareth Evans says while the threat of a terror attack on Australian soil is real, it is a moderate one.

Crack that whip, give the past the slip, step on a crack, break your momma's back.

He says he is sceptical about reports that suggest 800 potential terrorists are living in Australia and warned police to be careful in applying new Australian anti-terror laws.

When a problem comes along, you must whip it, before the cream sits out too long, you must whip it, when something's going wrong, you must whip it!

Mr Evans said he does not have a problem with police using racial profiling to help identify suspects, saying it is a reality of the current global climate.

"The extreme political correctness that has led some of the American law enforcement authorities to be sort of religiously strip-searching 90-year-old ladies because that's what they have to do to demonstrate that they haven't got any racial bias built into it, is palpably absurd," he said.

Now whip it, into shape, shape it up, get straight, go forward, move ahead, try to detect it, it's not too late to whip it, whip it good!

Mr Evans says if there are 800 potential terrorists in Australia, it may be the result of government security agencies broadening their definition of Islamic extremism.

When a good time turns around, you must whip it, you will never live it down, unless you whip it, no one gets their way, until they whip it!

He says there is a big difference between Muslim activists and those with a violent political agenda.

"What I fear is that there's a bit of a disposition to run all those categories together, and say 'Anyone who's expressing distaste for the Government and doing so from a kind of religious perspective, is a potentially dangerous terrorist'."

I say whip it!

Whip it good!

Tell Your State Premier: Don't Do Ruddock's Dirty Work

Over the past several years, the Howard government has passed a series of dangerous new laws. These laws have undermined our basic legal and democratic rights.

Now the Government wants to go even further. But this time, there's a hitch. The government wants to pass a new law that is forbidden by our Constitution - so they need the States to do it for them.

Mein Kampf by John Howard

All Sieg Heil John Howard as his enabling act gets passed.

Months before Bali Au warships were seen invading Iraqi territorial waters in deliberate provocations under American protection. It was obvious that Howard had decided before Bali to join in an illegal and aggressive invasion of Iraq and in fact , when that happened, it was led by Au stormtroopers BEFORE the ultimatum given Baghdad had even run out!

800 people deemed a potential security risk?

As reported in the Australian today, ASIO has apparently identified up to 800 people deemed a potential security risk. Ruddock says the draconian COAG measures "deal with people who pose a risk to the safety and security of the Australian community." Hmmm, like detained and deported US peace activist Scott Parkin perhaps? What is this broad definition of a "Terrorist"?

A law will be passed outlawing the "glorification" of terrorism and the introduction of an offence of committing "acts preparatory to terrorism." This introduces the Orwellian concept of "thought crime" into British law.
