Police state: indefinite detention

Sasikanthan has lost his mind.

So now we have a situation where Tamils are terrorists or have the potential to become terrorists and Sinhalese, because they were on the other side in the civil war, are experts on terrorism; a simplistic notion which ASIO has bought.

The Director-General of ASIO, David Irvine, might have given more enlightened leadership to his organisation, but only the other day he signed off on a review of the security status of Ranjini and had her locked up at Villawood with her two children aged 6 and 8. She had only been remarried for six weeks.

It is time ASIO had a new Director-General and time the Attorney-General, Nicola Roxon, got on top of her portfolio, applied a critical mind and stopped swallowing some of the nonsense being dished up to her as considered analysis.
