AUSTRALIA’S proposed anti-terror laws have the potential to entrap and persecute innocent people, just because they look suspicious.
The laws under consideration could be used to infringe people’s civil and political rights.
In a country that prides itself on freedom of speech and action, these proposed laws go against everything Australia stands for.
There is the added fear factor that is being generated about terrorism in Australia.
This is not proportionate to the risk that exists in some other Western countries.
