Has 9/11 made us 'live differently'?
Article posted on Thursday 17 May 2012Do you think Australians have less freedom, less democracy, than 10 years ago when the planes crashed into New York's Twin Towers? Have terrorists changed the way Australians live? PM Julia Gillard said those questions were how we should test our decade-long, multi-billion response to terrorism.

Article posted on Wednesday 16 May 2012From a reader of our website: My opinion of your group is that it is all crap. Take a look at the Suburbs that have been taken over by Muslims. Do you feel sorry for the genuine Australians that live there and on occasions have been forced to leave?

Article posted on Tuesday 15 May 2012In a major annual review of FOI in Australia, Dr Johan Lidberg says we're suffering from a two-speed approach with more than half the jurisdictions lagging.

As Australia readies for new see-through – and mandatory – airport scanners from 1 July, international security guru Bruce Schneier has put the entire issue of "security theatre" in context with some apt examples. He explains that national transport authorities are actually doing the terrorists' work for them.
Eastman: innocence lost…but was justice
itself also victim of the judicial process?
Article posted on Friday 04 May 2012
When a policeman is murdered, there's a rush to capture the culprit. That's what happened when the Assistant Commissioner of the AFP, Colin Winchester, was shot in the head in his own suburban street in Canberra 23 years ago. But was there too much rush, is the wrong man in jail? asks CLA member Howard Carew.
