Zero is coming...

If we are going into a global conflict then we need rules.

Black and white have to be determined.

Lines have to be drawn.

Unfortunate but that is just what has to happen.

So.

I have read a little about these laws, and I must say, they make me feel quite uncomfortable.

If you have a bad egg in the department (Asio), or an agent behaving inappropriately against you, even you could face very long jail terms for essentially exposing that person to another authority, family member, friend, journo, lawyer etc.

Rather dangerous territory if you ask me.

It's called the secret police!

It's what you get when you let multiculturalism in the country rather than maintain pure Australian culture.

Yes, secret police forces very soon always turn into freelance criminals.

Who guards the guardians?

Well ,, let,s say you are that bad egg and you want to kill someone and frame someone else for it, you manufacture a .special operation. do the deed, and off ya go, scot free. If anyone rats you out, they go to jail for 10 years, and yer immune from prosecution anyway

so ... these laws, in a .special operation. mean the asio can do anything to anyone, never be charged for any crime they commit, and anyone that blows the whistle on any of these crimes, is off to jail ...

people defending these laws havent quite got the idea through the noggin I reckon ..

And why not, the average person today really needs controlling because they are not as intellegent as their forefathers, are weaker, are lazier. Just look no further than your own post. In times past a person would at least copy paste the main paragraphs of the story and then give a rational argument as to their stand on the issue. All you have done is post a link and had a bitch. That's the sort of behavior one would expect from a toddler. A toddler will point at something they dislike and then screw up their face and cry.

Sorry, but it's true. Most adults today are no more than babies that need constant supervision so that they don't stick a knife in a power socket.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.

Forum Rules: The main forum may be used to discuss property, politics, economics and finance, precious metals, crypto currency, debt management, generational divides, climate change, sustainability, alternative energy, environmental topics, human rights or social justice issues, and other topics on a case by case basis. Topics unsuitable for the main forum may be discussed in the lounge. You agree you won't use this forum to post material that is illegal, private, defamatory, pornographic, excessively abusive or profane, threatening, or invasive of another forum member's privacy. Don't post NSFW content. Racist or ethnic slurs and homophobic comments aren't tolerated. Accusing forum members of serious crimes is not permitted. Accusations, attacks, abuse or threats, litigious or otherwise, directed against the forum or forum administrators aren't tolerated and will result in immediate suspension of your account for a number of days depending on the severity of the attack. No spamming or advertising in the main forum. Spamming includes repeating the same message over and over again within a short period of time. Don't post ALL CAPS thread titles. The Advertising and Promotion Subforum may be used to promote your Australian property related business or service. Active members of the forum who contribute regularly to main forum discussions may also include a link to their product or service in their signature block. Members are limited to one actively posting account each. A secondary account may be used solely for the purpose of maintaining a blog as long as that account no longer posts in threads.
