Australia's anti-terror laws were enacted in an atmosphere of fear and grief following terrorist attacks overseas. Do our anti-terror laws go too far in the powers they confer? Do they need to be changed?
Video 3 in the series "Anti Terror Laws & Australia"
Prior to September 11 2001, Australia had no national anti-terror laws. Since then the sheer number of laws passed, and their scope, has exceeded those of many other countries. In this series Professor George Williams asks did we need anti-terror laws and did we get the laws right.

Australia needs to join the United States of America and become a state of America for freedom and rights and liberty.

@@Joe-pc3hs The amount of literature on Australia's 'hyper-legislative response' to the 'war on terror' is just, I mean, immense. As for restrictive lockdowns... I mean, sure the government's response was not the best, but somehow I don't think *joining the USA* is the go-to sociopolitical answer.
