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.
