Monday Nov. 28, 12:30pm – 1:00pm
Par­lia­ment House, Spring Street, Melbourne
Emer­gency protest – defy Howard’s anti-demo­cratic terror laws!
Called by Civil Rights Defence.

John Howard’s new terror laws won’t combat or stop ter­ror­ism. These laws are designed to silence free speech.
The new ‘sedi­tion’ laws could apply to anyone, includ­ing anti-war pro­test­ers, civil rights act­iv­ists, uni­on­ists and journ­al­ists – and anyone who expresses dissent.
On Novem­ber 28, the new terror legis­la­tion will be presen­ted to the Senate. Join us for in an emer­gency protest – a mass read­ing of sedi­tious state­ments on the steps of Par­lia­ment House!
Sedi­tious state­ments provided – or bring your own!

In a time of uni­ver­sal deceit, telling the truth is a revolu­tion­ary act” – George Orwell
“But there is only one thing which gath­ers people into sedi­tious com­mo­tion, and that is oppres­sion” – John Locke
“Liberty has never come from the gov­ern­ment. Liberty has always come from the sub­jects of it. The his­tory of liberty is a his­tory of res­ist­ance.” – Woo­drow Wilson
