I’m not a legal expert but it feels like these sorts of laws shouldn’t be rushed. That right there is an immediate red flag that this is bad legislation. Also, not to get all V for Vendetta and shit but what’s the limitations on who gets classified as a terrorist.
Exactly my issue with this. I don’t trust the corrupt Australian government to objectively apply this law. This country is sleepsprinting into authoritarianism one small cut at a time. I may be in my very early-30’s, but I’m making active plans to get out of here before things get worse. Australia has never felt more suffocating and restrictive.
