Anti-Terrorism Bill Arse Covering

Pity those poor state Premiers. How do you prove that agreeing to enact draconian anti-terrorist laws after having the frighteners applied by Federal ASIO spooks doesn't make you a group of uncaring, cavalier wimps?

Why, you get together and pick out a bit a really nasty bit of the legislation, and all claim in unison that you didn't agree to it.

Pathetic really. Next week they'll be regrouping to explain why they didn't read the bill before agreeing to it.
