Aussie Freedom Takes A Step Back
1points
Lets hope this type of farcical "Big Brother" control doesn't head west in a hurry.
Southbank, one of Melbourne's biggest tourist areas, has band the use of cameras in the centre.

If political action alone, or of itself, were the key to the solution of our problem, we would have solved that problem long ago. We proceed on a solider and more permanent program which includes political action, but without letting political action get out of perspective

Terrorism is a fictitious animal created to keep Big Brother in control, in the last 40 years 31 conspiracy theories have been proved to be right, and in most cases governments or departments of same have been responsible.
Remember Contra, World Trade Centre 1993 (FBI handler got cold feet and drove the bomb filled truck away from the understructure) CIA involved in drug trade etc. etc. etc.
