Martial law comes to Howard's Australia: The federal government, under our most esteemed despot, John "The Beast" Howard, is proposing laws enhancing federal security powers; in particular, allowing the federal government to deploy the army within Australia to crush dissent. This law apparently will allow martial law to be imposed, including a suspension of civil liberties and even shoot-to-kill orders; It is planned to be in place for the World Economic Forum. Not surprisingly, anti-capitalist militants have spoken out against it.
