To quote Democrats Senator Allison - "It wouldn't surprise me if there was a lot of action, a lot of protests, a lot of ordinary Australians saying 'this threatens our own system of justice and we want something done about it'," she said."
A clear example of why the Democrats have been consigned to the dust bin of Australian politics.....a concerted effort by a couple of hundred riff raff anti US lefties does not constitute the majority of Aussies who really couldn't care less if Hicks spent another 5 years in Cuba...
