Coalition to consider tougher anti-terrorism laws Posted Wed Nov 7, 2007 4:43pm AEDT Updated Wed Nov 7, 2007 4:52pm AEDT
Federal Attorney-General Philip Ruddock says if re-elected, the Coalition would consider adopting the counter-terrorism measures announced in Britain overnight.
He says Labor should be following the lead of the British Labor Party's tough anti-terrorism measures.
"I'm saying we will look closely at what they're proposing in the United Kingdom, but I think the important point here is the environment in which we're operating in," he said.
"A Labour Government in the United Kingdom believes that looking at further extending some of these measures is necessary."
Take the lead from Gordon Brown? Yeah right just take a look at this man who took over from Blair after his promotion to special envoy to the Middle East flying in the face of his lies of WMDs. http://www.petitiononline.com/27062007/
So Who Is Gordon Brown? Blair and New Labour on Steroids
Many might not have noticed but Britain has a new Prime Minister. It was announced yesterday that Gordon Brown will enter number 10 uncontested.
Recently, as he senses power coming his way, Brown has been making speeches announcing the coming of a new world order and triumphing the virtues of globalization.
The British people have long had it drilled into their minds that the Prime Minister after Tony Blair will be Gordon Brown. It has been widely reported by every major media outlet for years and is well known within government that the pair had established a "working assumption" that would enable Mr Brown to take over the reins. A television drama was even made about the so called "deal" made between the two before Blair became Prime Minister.
The deal has now been done. The current chancellor of the Exchequer, Brown has been the financial brainpower behind the New Labour agenda since it was kick started by globalist connections in the early 1990s. He is and always has been personally determined to be Prime Minister of Britain though, many believe every decision he has taken as chancellor has been with his prime ministerial ambition in mind.
As a young politician Brown was a staunch Socialist within the Scottish Labour party. When John Smith became leader of the Labour Party shortly before his premature death, he appointed Brown as Shadow Chancellor. Smith was a member of the steering committee, the inner core of the Bilderberg Group. He got Gordon Brown invited to the 1991 Bilderberg meeting where he was effectively groomed along with Blair as the next big thing in British politics. Incidentally this was the same meeting at which Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton was in attendance, he became President a matter of months later.
Brown has also, as far back as 1998 been listed in the "Global Leaders group" at the World Economic forum (otherwise known as the DAVOS group) . He has often been touted for high ranking IMF positions.
Brown was a traditional Labour figure, the economic spokesman who doesn't¹t know much about economics. He took on an advisor - Ed Balls, a Financial Times leader writer - an ideologist for globalization, in effect - who learned his economic trade at Harvard. Balls is a regular Bilderberg attendee, his name can be found on the attendance lists almost every year since 2001. Brown soon started going to New England regularly for his summer holidays and became a true believer in the the neo-liberal line from Harvard - Globalization, the Washington consensus.
Brown's Bilderberg connections were most recently highlighted by Norman Baker, MP for Lewes, who officially requested that Gordon Brown provide details of Bilderberg meetings he has attended.
Brown's takeover from Blair has been in effect for the last two years. He began concentrating less on his role as chancellor and more on over all policy a long time ago. Recent major speeches have seen Brown demonstrating his "personal commitment" to tough anti-terrorism laws and methods to reduce crime and make the country safer.
Brown has called for police to be allowed to hold terrorist suspects for longer than 28 days, a move that was rejected by Parliament in 2005. He has also championed the Big brother state, suggesting that biometric technology be implemented in banks and supermarkets, and that it made sense to extend the use of the technology into the public sector for use in an ID scheme.
Brown even quoted George Orwell, to equate these authoritarian ideas with the struggle for freedom: "writing in the thirties, at democracy's darkest hour in Europe, when the threat was fascism, "the thing that I saw in your face no power can disinherit, no bomb that ever burst shatters the crystal spirit".
He says Labor should be following the lead of the British Labor Party's tough anti-terrorism measures.
"I'm saying we will look closely at what they're proposing in the United Kingdom, but I think the important point here is the environment in which we're operating in," he said.
