<nettime> Totalitarianism Australian style |
Further to the mail of rcollins@netlink.com.au posted on nettime, August 4, 2000. Here is the legislation that the Australian government wants to pass through the senate to allow the defence force to act as police and kill people, not only if they pose a threat, but even if they try to flee from capture (see Division 4 [3]). http://scaleplus.law.gov.au/html/bills/0/2000/0/0642439303.htm This is outright authoritarianism and must be stopped.
