Aust Govt Terrorism propaganda campaign
$15m of Australian taxpayer money is to be wasted on the govt propaganda line that we are being attacked because they "hate our freedoms" and increased militarism and authoritarianism is the necessary response. War abroad and repression at home.

Voiceover by Steve Liebmann includes the following:

"Terrorism has changed the world and Australia is not immune but the way of life we value so highly must go on.... Be alert but not alarmed, together let's look out for Australia. If you see anything suspicious call 1800 123 400."

It is suspicious to me that Australia is to attack Iraq "pre-emptively", and generally place itself right alongside the Imperialist policies of the United States, thus increasing our risk of exposure to terrorist attacks. The government also wants to increase the secret police powers of ASIO restricting Australian civil liberties, one of the firm bases of our Australian way of life. Should I call the number to report my suspicions?
