Since my original post, it sounds like the opposition leaders (as well as state governments) were given some access to this 'alleged threat'... and amazingly, they agreed with it. This makes me think that the Howard government went quite a ways to make up this threat. Yes, I know this sounds like I should be wearing a tin-foil hat and hiding in a bunker, but I still don't see it as real.
I haven't kept a really close eye on the news, but what I did see (since the bill became a law) was that Australia wasn't doing too well in the Cricket, they caught some murderers from Geelong, and some horseracing stuff.
Nothing about some major arrest/sting after these CRUCIALLY NEEDED laws came into affect. No saving of the public from imminent danger... maybe I missed it, maybe they've done something but no one (well, the media) has found out yet, or maybe they just made up the threat to get the laws in...
WTF.
I have to watch what I say here, as I believe they can now bust in and take me for speaking against the Howard government.
