    A most welcome development. Good to see that the government is being proactive about this. What do you think? Are they right or are they throwing the baby out with the bathwater?

    Why? There hasn't been a terrorist attack in this state since the 70's. Just more oppressive legislation from the men in blue.

    So, what's the difference between terrorism and an uprising? I mean, I know the difference on paper, but in practice - it's largely a matter of perspective.
    The legislation due to be introduced shortly will see it being a criminal offence to direct or train those involved in “terrorist acts and terrorism”, said Flanagan.

    That's an awfully broad thing to say.

    Which is entirely the point I'd say.
