Australia AG says changing terror laws could compromise national security
Joshua Pantesco at 9:57 AM ET

FedGov.AU is resisting concerns that it's processes are undemocratic, rejecting advice from it's own review that it's laws and processes are not transparent, too complex, too vague, and basically unfair. Nothing new then really.

Australia Senate upholds federal override of capital district civil union law
Joshua Pantesco at 10:03 AM ET

The ACT is supposedly a self-governing territory - but this FedGov is quite happy to impose it's own will on the ACT and the NT. Apparently allowing homosexuals to have civil unions "undermines" heterosexual marriage.

Frankly, heterosexuals are doing that quite fine for themselves. No law, be it FedGov Family law or otherwise can make people take anything seriously. Let alone resile form fucking each over after they've (usually) stopped fucking each other.

UK Foreign Office takes over Hicks Guantanamo release case
Jaime Jansen at 11:42 AM ET

The UK has now taken over from the Australian Government in efforts to press for the release of Australian David Hicks. Since our FedGov doesn't believe Australian Citizenship means anything more than the joy of being taxed in Aussie dollars - if you're lucky enough to still have a job that pays enough to be taxed - Mr Hicks et al have turned to the UK for assistance.

Basically, our FedGov has been clear - it supports Family Values - so long as that means parents are out working ASAP, doing whatever their employers desire, for whatever the employer is prepared to part with, and under whatever terms they're offered. "Flexibility" in the workplace is code for "You'll do as your told, and like it". They want women to be breeding - so long as they're married to a male. And if they're not, they're damned irresponsible.

FedGov has a 1950s vision of social life, an 1850s vision of employment conditions, and a AU$7.50 vision for the minimum wage.
