pretty much. Plus sedition laws limiting free speech. Like calling the Iraqi insurgents freedom fighters and asking people to understand why Australia was wrong to invade Iraq and understand the insurgent's position will get you for being seditious.
Dictionaries define sedition as conduct or language inciting rebellion against the government. As a criminal offence it has a long and dishonourable history as a means of shutting down political dissent, back in the Cold War and before.
It will be great not being able to:
"urge disaffection against the constitution, the Government of the Commonwealth, either House of Parliament"
oo fuck.. better not comment on how fucked up the Howard Government is.. and how it's not fostering a police state at all.. fucking fear mongering cock holsters.
