What is sedition? Sedition is best described as taking your right away of saying the Government sucks. Most of us will remember the fun and games of Rodney Rude and the Queensland Police, how it was treated as a national joke for a few years.

The new terror laws to protect our so called national security, you could be catching a train to work talking to a friend, and if the goverment of the time has done something  you dont like,  and you speak up against it, the railway police can arrest you for sedition.

At this point you can be held indefinintely without charge.

Amnesty International has been fighting for decades to give every man, woman and child on this planet the freedom of speech, just to say what you want, when you want it and how you want it. (Preferably without swearing).

Another problem we have burecrats acting half truths. A quick case scenario, 3 brothers, brother 1 buys a old beaten up car, (commonly refered to as a "bomb"- a crapped out old motor vehicle), brother 2 rings up brother 3 and clearly states on the phone, that brother 1 has a bomb. Brother 3 states, "yes I know, I've seen it," (without mentioning that the bomb is a old car).

Just by using common slang, these brothers could be arrested and held without charge for possessing a bomb or have the knowledge of someone having a bomb and not telling the authorities.

Shoot to kill. The way the laws are a police officer has the rights to shoot and kill, but, their actions must be justified or appropriate charges will be laid. Under the new laws, if you are suss looking with a back pack and have wires coming out to some remote control in your hand, the police are allowed to shoot and kill you without question, just on suspicion.

I have just described a university student adjusting his the volume on their ipod. Can this be justified?

If Australia have minded our own business, and stayed out of Iraq, (like New Zealand did), we would not be going through this rubbish now.
