Labor is ready to back the fed­eral gov­ern­ment in rush­ing part of new anti-ter­ror­ism laws through par­lia­ment in light of spe­cific inform­a­tion about a threat in Australia.

What art­broken said:

So on the basis of some­thing the gov­ern­ment claims is an imme­di­ate threat to the coun­try (but not enough to actu­ally modify the gen­eral ‘threat level’), and refuses to divulge to the people who actu­ally voted each and every member of par­lia­ment into power, Labor spreads its legs and passes an amend­ment that allows you to be arres­ted for one alleged offense on the basis that you may have been involved with a dif­fer­ent alleged offense.

I’m so angry I can’t fuck­ing speak right now.”

Ditto.
