Labor and Liberal leaders sign away basic rights
Labor and Liberal leaders have abjectly failed to make the case for today’s COAG decision to sign away yet another tranche of hard-won rights and freedoms, Greens Justice spokesperson Nick McKim says.
“Police and security agencies already have abundant powers to do their job and to arrest, interview and charge suspects,” Senator McKim said.
“The rights that the Labor and Liberal parties have eroded today are a crucial part of what set Australia apart from authoritarian regimes."
