Aye, there's the rub, Ken - mind you, after the recent flurry of draconian
bills being passed through Parliament - not only anti-terrorism and sedition
bills, but industrial relations "reforms" (basically a wholesale stealing of
rights from workers) and a new law banning compulsory student union fees
which means the end of decent services for students, we must be among the
most repressive western democracies in the world (if not _the_ most - I did
read somewhere that ASIO powers are the most powerful anywhere in the
so-called West)
If I find anywhere, I'll let you know. Mind you, that reminds me of the
people, scared by the threat of wars, who decided to settle their family in
the most out of the way place they could find - the Falkland Islands....
