GDay World 208 – Civil Liberty in Australia

My guests today are Dr Kris Klugman PhD and Bill Rowlings from Civil Liberties Australia. I invited them onto the show to help me understand what’s happening with a variety of civil liberty matters such as:

    David Hicks
    Dr Phillip Nitschke’s book
    Attorney-General Phillip Ruddock
    Banning of Muslim books
    Sedition and other “anti-terrorism” laws passed in Australia
    The use of fear as a tool of manipulation
    Free Speech
    An Australian Bill of Rights
    The troubling rise of the Christian Right in Australia
    Gay marriage

If you are troubled, as I am, by these issues, then get off your backside and DO something about it. Join the CLA, write a blog, record a podcast, run for politics, create some street art, just DO SOMETHING non-violent. Don’t get sucked into this bullshit mindset of “what difference does it make?”. That’s what “they” want you to think. Remember – you boil a frog slowly.

  1. Why do we “have to assume” that it was for political reasons? It may be, but why assume it, why not prove it? Isn’t it just as possible that it was objected against because they thought the Board stuffed up? Do you think there should be no appeals to the board?
