The Federal Government has dismissed renewed calls to revisit the idea of an Australia card. (His ABC) 14 July 05Howard to Reconsider ID card. (Un-Australian Newspaper) 15 July 05hoWARd's ABC: "The Federal Government has dismissed renewed calls to revisit the idea of an Australia card."
Phillip Ruddock: "And one way of doing it is to put this issue up on the agenda today. "The comments coincide with moves in Britain to push legislation for national identity cards through Parliament."
The Un- Australian: "A PROPOSAL for a national identity card is being examined by the Howard Government as a way of improving border security and countering the threat of terrorism."
[the threat created by the Howard Government.]The controversial plan was yesterday raised by Queensland Premier Peter Beattie, who suggested a national ID card to prevent unlawful detention similar to that suffered by Cornelia Rau and Vivian Alvarez.
But the 'Palmolive' inquiry has identified a culture of zealotry as underpinning current Immigration Department (DIMIA) policy and practice.
And the community insists that when government departments don't do their job then the community is not to blame and the zealots who continue to reign unchecked in Immigration and those now promoted for getting it wrong should be sacked.
Its just a jump to the right!The Un-Australian: "But the Prime Minister revealed cabinet's National Security Committee was already examining whether tougher measures were needed to close "loopholes" in Australia's counter-terrorism effort."
[Fear-mongering, propaganda effort.]"All of these things will be looked at. I don't say never, ever in relation to things like that," John Howard said in Canberra. "
But the spectre of an Australia Card - a proposal raised in 1987, which hoWARd campaigned vigorously against - came as the prime minister released a damning report into the wrongful detention of Ms Rau and Ms Alvarez, by former police commissioner mick 'Palmolive'.
Mr 'beastie' said problems with accurate identification of people, particularly those who were missing, had been underlined by the wrongful 10-month detention of Ms Rau.
Who owns the problem?But why should any Australian citizen be accurately identified?
We were born here and those taken into shelter have already been granted citizenship and therefore no explanation is necessary unless the government have lost an immigrant they wish to detain indefinitely.
We are children of the Universe regardless and we have the right to be here regardless of the government or world agenda.
Since when did Australia own us? Simple message for right-wingers who think otherwise.
'Rack off losers you don't own the world' and you never will!
AmbiguousGovernment sources last night suggested an Australia card was not currently under consideration. But hoWARd apparently has left open the door of a national scheme.
"We would be complacent in the extreme if we ruled that out," he said.
Other sources say he left the door open to aid his campaign for more illegal and degrading wars and crimes against humanity to continue unabated. And when the flak comes back to haunt this country he is going to restrict the communities movements because of his failure of respect for the International Community.
All this is 'bad government policy'. Discriminating against citizenry, discriminating against those refugees and asylum seekers who are locked up indefinitely and discriminating against sovereign nation states.Clearly if that wasn't the case then there would be no need at all to check to see if Australians found to be on Australian soil have the right to be here.
Illegal and degrading warsThe National Security Committee is seeking advice from Government officials and the main spy agency in the wake of last week's London
[false flag operation] bombings.
But
allegedly the bombings were UK home grown and if so, carried out by people who were obviously angry, frustrated and anguished about their own governments stance on going to wars illegally,
killing, maiming and torturing innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan.But the government who got it so badly wrong is already improving cross-referencing of existing identification information, which privacy advocates believe is de facto national ID system in the making.
Intelligence or negligencehoward said people should not "jump immediately to the conclusion" that an ID card was the solution to any intelligence failings.
But an id card was no solution to the illegal and degrading war on Iraq and the WMD failings and never will be. If people are angry and frustrated about bad decisions made by their government including false and misleading intelligence then once again, who owns the problem?
Should our government be leading by example?hoWARd: "When the National Security Committee (met last week), we sought advice on whether there should be any changes to the law to further tightening in relation to intelligence capacity, whether there are any loopholes that should be closed, whether there are any further changes that should be made," he said.
Yes! Don't lie to the Australian people about false and misleading intelligence. Don't go to war on sovereign nations states illegally. And if you do then don't torture their citizenry or for that matter our citizenry.
Perhaps, a very good reason why people don't want to know our government in the first place.
Or should I have said don't want the government to know them!A government who illegally tortures its own citizens, detains it's own citizens, and detains refugees and asylum seekers including children in indefinite detention.hoWARd : "I expect to have some advice on that fairly soon. And it may well be that in the course of looking at that, responding to that remit from the National Security Committee, this issue will again come on to the table."
The issue of, 'lying to the Australian people' and the issue, of 'illegal and degrading wars on sovereign nation states'? Not likely, taken into account hoWARd's not being complacent about sending more guerrillas and militants to kill more innocent indigenous Afghans.
The prime loser will also discuss transport security issues
[false flag operations] during his two-week visit to the US and Britain so we don't get blown up on the bus after his failure to recognise his illegal acts of aggression have cause some people to take drastic action.
The british government in May re-introduced a bill to parliament making identity cards compulsory and the plan is expected to have widespread support in the wake of the
[false flag] London bombings.
But how could it be that when governments make mistakes and are so very wrong they take out added security measures on their own citizens and propose
draconian bills because they have failed!
Not only have they failed but also the International Community has failed to hold them to account over their failure, leading to draconian measure being taken out on citizens?
Australia War Association chief neil james said he believed Mr Howard was considering an identity card because it was identified as one of the chinks in Britain's counter-terror armour. "If you have a look at Europe the terrorists gravitate to Britain because all of the European Union countries have some form of national identity system," he said.
[Rubbish, the Coalition of the Killing's false flag operations, fear-mongering attempts at a call to arms for resource wars in the Middle East.]But another 'chink' to be considered is taking blair bushit and hoWARd off to The Hague for their crimes against humanity! Because the terrorist gravitate to the people who terrorise them! Any war association loser like james should understand that proposition.
As hoWARd leaves to step up his war agenda, he warned the international campaign against terrorism would continue for years. "The overall fight against terror I think will go on for a long time," he said.
Especially if you kill, maim, and torture innocent people in sovereign nation states by committing acts of aggression in illegal and degrading wars. [Especially if you use state sanctioned terror in false flag operations to prime your community with fear so that you get more support for your criminal acts.]hoWARd also ran into a barrage of criticism after he speculated Australia could be subjected to suicide bombings, similar to those in Britain.
Defending his comments, hoWARd said he would not "run around the country giving all sorts of bland guarantees" about the terrorist threat.
Some people want to remain anonymousThe federal attorney-general has suggested that two women wrongfully detained by the Immigration Department could have avoided being locked up if they had cooperated more with authorities.
Zealots Reign Unchecked in Immigration - Nothing Has ChangedThe Palmer Inquiry has identified a culture of zealotry as underpinning current Immigration Department (DIMIA) policy and practice.
Three cases uncovered by the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) since Ms Cornelia Rau was found by her family illustrate how zealots are still driving the DIMIA machine and that other detainees are being mistreated under the same regime that oversaw the neglect of Ms Rau and the unlawful removal of Ms Alvarez. They beg the question as to why the Minister is unable or unwilling to intervene.

Galloway breaks consensus over London bombingsHe said: "The purpose of terrorism is not only to kill and maim the innocent. It is to put despair and anger and hatred in people's hearts.
