I am safe

Today the federal Government introduced the much spoken about Anti-terror legislation. The legislation outlines draconian new laws that undermine the values they are supposed to protect. These new laws contain some serious inroads into long-standing human rights protections, particularly in relation to the new regimes of control orders and preventative detention orders. Of particular concern are the provisions relating to: - 14 day detention without charge; - house arrest for 12 months or more; - detention of children between the ages of 16 and 18; - the lack of any meaningful review by a court; - the erosion of the right to the presumption of innocence and a proper legal defence; - the erosion of the right to freedom of speech.
