PM wants terrorising laws in place this year.
Prime Minister John Howard says he hopes Parliament will approve the new in-store grocery counter-terrorising package before Christmas.

But Mr Howard has declined to comment on reports that Australian spooks will use the new powers as soon as they are available. Pigs are already ready for take off...

Of course, we know the various Australian polices already use an ersatz shoot-to-kill policy-thingy. The only difference is that, at the moment, there is always a bothersome enquiry about it although no police has ever been charged of whatever. With the new laws, no enquiry will be necessary, even if the victim is innocent of anything. The family of such victim should get a small soggy Anzac biscuit and a one lolly package, in line with the Christmas spirit...

Under the proposed laws, police will be able to put suspected terrorists under house arrest for up to 12 months, just for the fun of it, and shoot-to-kill entertainment like that during the Pinochet regeeme. But Johnnee-be-bad is prepared to let amend His "shoot-to-kill" policy as a "shoot-to-kill"-ish policy.

Mr Howard says the package is designed to protect the good ship Australia from barnacles and wood worms — these annoying blithers that the little war in Iraq was supposed to arrest but unfortunately achieved the multiplying opposite...

"The law is yet to be passed by Parliament, I hope it will be passed by Parliament, like a regular morning bowel motion, before Christmas, it would be in the NATIONAL INTEREST (not a very long time since Johnnee has referred to this "national interest" magic pudding) if it were," he porkied as infinitum...

Okay! Let's all sing "The Good King Wince-a-lot... or Jingle Alarm Bells... All together now the two songs at the same time...
