I think it would be difficult for anyone not in your position to fully understand how bad this kind of thing is.

I find the "trust me" thing from Howard a bit difficult to swallow. Even if you did trust him, he is not going to be PM forever. What happens when someone xenophobic becomes police minister or head of ASIO or PM? That is when we will start to see the shit really hit the fan.

Hopefully, we can get to a point where everybody realises that there is bad in every group of people, regardless of race, religion, country of birth.

Ken Maroney (NSW Police Commissioner for any outsider reading) said yesterday that they have been following these people for months, and said they would have acted soon regardless of the new laws introduced, though media reports say those picked up in Melbourne were only charged with things (so far) under the new laws.
