When the Government stands by terrorism kits amid criticism and is issuing fridge door terror kit's, at $15m a 'waste' according to the critics? Perhaps critics who never went to war yet? And when masked groups are helping asylum seekers to escape and our Nuclear protesters are being arrested. Then where having our blood sucked out! Now John Howard who did go to war without telling everyone else is to visit US for war talks with Bush again!
Mosquitos have taken over from the fly's in Australia. Bloodsuckers who take the name of ordinary Australian's in vain.
Prime Minister John Howard has defended the Federal Government's decision to send out war kits to Australian households. The government has been accused of misdirecting taxpayers' money by preparing the war kits, which include a letter from the Prime Minister, a booklet and a fridge magnet.The war kits will be sent to every Australian household and contain advice on how to prepare for a potential terrorist attack.
[Just federal government fear mongering, propaganda, at taxpayers expense. This serves to bolster support and to quell dissent for the Coalition of the Killing's resource war's in the Middle East.]
Prime Minister John Howard says Australians are balanced savvy people, who want the government to set the tone, then hand out information?
"I think it's exactly what the public wants," Mr Howard said.
The Opposition's foreign affairs spokesman, Kevin Rudd, says Mr Howard should think of more constructive ways to spend $15 million protecting [fear - mongering] Australia. "I think practical things on security need to be done first," he said.
"The glossy stuff Mr Howard should save until the next election."
"Greens leader Senator Bob Brown says the kit is 'designed to incite fear to attract votes'.
[So if the Bob Brown knows that then why doesn't Kevin Rudd? Me too? What kind of opposition is that?]
The Prime Minister, John Howard, was accused yesterday of political opportunism and of wasting millions of dollars of taxpayers' money on the Government terrorism kit, [government scapegoat kit] which is being mailed to households this week.
Labor's foreign affairs spokesman, Kevin Rudd, said the $15million the Government is spending on the kit, which is to be launched by the federal Attorney-General, Daryl Williams, today, would be better spent on improving airport security.
[Better still anti-war security.]
The kit includes a fridge magnet with crisis contact numbers and tips on how to spot terrorists [scapegoats.]
Greens Senator Bob Brown accused Mr Howard of using fear as a political weapon.
"I think the Prime Minister knows that keeping people fearful is in his estimation going to keep putting votes in his ballot box and I think that's a very, very wrong ambition in politics," he said.
Mr Howard yesterday denied the terrorism kit [scapegoat kit] would cause alarm. He said it would be well received, and that it "gives people useful information".
[Useful information about war criminal John Howard.]
Senator Brown said that when Federal Parliament resumes this week he would move a motion of no confidence in the Government over its involvement of Australia in the probable US-led war in Iraq, and the deployment of Australian troops [militia].
Prominent Liberals are backing a nationwide advertising campaign and protest march in opposition to Mr Howard's strong support for the US on Iraq.
Led by former Liberal president John Valder, the "Liberals against war in Iraq" will urge conservative voters to demand an end to the war plans. A rally is planned for February 16.
Former Liberal frontbencher Peter Deakin said: "A war has to have a strong moral imperative and I don't think I've seen the imperative here. I can't see any reason ... except to please our American masters."
Asked about unrest in his own party, Mr Howard said he was a "Liberal against war" who believed in preventing greater long-term danger and suffering by "taking steps now".
[By murdering innocent people who live in the sovereign nations of Afghanistan and Iraq.]
But the PM is to visit US for war talks with Bush? War criminal Howard is likely to accept an invitation from George W. Bush to visit Washington in the next few weeks to discuss the looming [resource] war in Iraq. The President is understood to have invited the Prime Minister to visit the US capital for what would be Mr Howard's third US trip in a year.
Masked group aids escape
ABOUT five people wearing balaclavas have helped asylum seekers escape from the Woomera detention centre, attacking and injuring two security officers. Port Augusta police inspector James Blandford said four or five people had helped six detainees break out from the South Australian complex about 1.15am (ACDT). They then fled in two cars to McDonalds?
