This morning’s terror raids
I never thought I will live the day to see Australia conducts terror raids. Its not something I have imagined. Australia seems so far away … terror raids sound like something expected in places such as New York, London, Paris and Berlin.
I hope they got it right this time. Imagine being rudely awaken in the morning by swot teams just because they gotten the wrong address (After they have smashed through all your windows and doors)!
I wonder, will the government pay for all the damages they created if they have made a mistake?

What a coincedence…these raids happen just when Howard’s trying to convince us all that these new “tough on terror” laws are necessary.
And yes, I know they can’t be too specific about what these people were (allegedly) doing, but even vague details– as opposed to no details at all– would have been nice.
Also: it’s obviously not going to be easy to be Islamic in Australia from now on either, since most (if not all) of those arrested were Muslim.
Hey! We get terror-raids here in Birmingham too, y’know!!
Hrmph… just because we’re not a nice big shiny city everyone forgets about us *cry* ;-)
