Taking Liberties

One reason why we should be cautious about softening proposed anti-terrorism laws:

Keysar Trad, from the Islamic Friendship Association of Australia, says... "This legislation has been referred to as draconian by the premiers themselves and it is a legislation that very strongly attacks and dismantles civil liberties and we can't have enough safeguards for such legislation, but at the moment there's hardly any safeguards," he said.

Civil liberties? Mr Trad knows all about civil liberties.

Another reason.
