'Under the proposed sedition clause, a person can be sentenced to seven years in jail for carrying out, advocating or encouraging seditious intention.That might include "urging" others to feel disaffection with the Government, the constitution or parliament.'
Oh, I see. You mean like this? Or maybe this.
Perhaps this is pushing it.
Heh. I know this is.

Save me a spot in the Mess Hall, can you?

I think I gave away my lack of prison knowledge by referring to it as the 'big house'.

Actually:
- Urging the overthrow of the Constitution or Government by force or violence
- Urging interference in Parliamentary elections by force or violence
- Urging violence within the community
- Urging a person to assist the enemy (by any means whatsover)
- Urging a person to assist those engaged in armed hostilities (by any means whatsover)
What exactly would one wear for a ride is a divvy van??
1000 Apologies, that should read 'for a ride in a divvy van??'
Who exactly is 'the enemy', aenslag? Define 'good faith'? Define 'unlawful association'?

Sedition from Wikipedia
"Sedition refers to a legal designation of non-overt conduct that is deemed by a legal authority as being acts of treason, and hence deserving of legal punishment. The term is deprecated in most countries, though equivalent language may still be in use in totalitarian and fascist jurisdictions.
Thankfully I look fabulous with a crew cut and orange overalls.
'the enemy'
'good faith'
'unlawful association'
There. That should clear a few things up around here. Impressed parties may like to know that I am available for hire as a private tutor (for subjects including Life Stuff, The Law & Shit, and Binge Drinking For Idiots).
I can also be hired as a private dancer, but that's another story altogether and one I'd prefer to keep between Tina Turner and myself if you don't mind.
hey ms fits
the terms "enemy", "good faith" and "unlawful association" are all blunt instruments of course.
i'm more interested in what "by force or violence" means.
Does urging the chastising of Tony Abbott's bare nekkid ass with a leather paddler while dressed as a nun constitute force or violence?
I believe it constitutes certifiable perversion.
and if so, is the protection of Tony Abbott the objective or that of any innocent bystanders who may happen to witness the chastisement scene?
all profound legal conumdrums doubtlessly considered at length by our esteemed parlimentarians even as we speak.
When they make these laws retroactive, Little Johnie can have Ms Fits jailed for stuff she did years ago.
Would they go that far? Anything is possible when Australia needs protecting from the nasty terrorists.
Now Ms Fits, I know you are a TV writer, but just imaging how many ideas you would get when you are actually living like this.
What a great career opportunity for you.
Am gathering advice from old lefties on how to get a JP and how to get bail.
(and from crims on how to survive 'inside', as well, just in case).
p.s apparently women's prisons are far worse than mens.
*shit*
I like what this guy has to say on the topic: http://nightwatchman.blogspot.com/2005/11/could-bomber-beazley-be-jailed-next.html#comments
i've already started practising to see how many hard-boiled eggs i can swallow
it's starting to feel a bit uncomfortable
I love Johnny.
I hate this fucking word verification thing.
20 comments and no-one has mentioned your 'big house' name, Vinegar Fits.
Fits of Rage
or my word verification
welbijph (silent j)
not that i'm biggin' it up for the J man but wasn't JC knocked off for sedition.
Damn I hope I end up in jail with you folk. I'm going to be waaaaaay down the list of clueless middle class fucks waiting to get raped.
So do you actually want instead for us to go on as if nothing happens and then enjoy it when we get blown up?
No offence, Fits, but I want someone you care about to die or be seriously injured - or hell, even almost be going to be in the danger zone but then turn out not to by some rare occurence of serendipity - in a terrorist attack. And then, only then, you might get off your soap box and understand that there is good and evil in the world. Terrorism is a threat.
No-one wants to lock you behind bars just because you are able to post photos of democratically elected representatives onto your blog accompanied by really imaginative swear words. Don't worry darling Fits, nobody takes it seriously. In fact some believe that you are in fact a parody of a leftist, over exaggerating the feralness and intolerance found in the Hard Left. You can stop sweating making little patches under your arms on your groovy 'little girl' t-shirt now....
Poor sweet girl.
I bags the top bunk.
Its a pity orange isn't my colour though.
didn't anyone get my egg reference?
I'm sorry I didn't get the egg reference, please explain. But I am willing to trade the miniscule risk of being blown up for my very real freedoms. It's not a theoretical choice either, the building I work in has been named as a possible target. Bomb away I say.
On another note, orange isn't what you'll be wearing you pack of seditious bastards. It's green. Prison green, and what a depressing colour it is.
BTW Ms Fits, LMS was the best show ever to screen on Aus TV. You rock. And your blog rocks.
Anon: (above)
Just so long as it's not you who gets blown up it's okay?
Because the likelihood is that there WILL be a terrorist attack in Australia, some where, some how, and soon. Despite what you are determined to believe and preach, the government doesn't make new laws just for fun. Actually. The risk of terror is much greater now than it has been for quite some time.
But I agree, the risk of terror killing YOU is still miniscule, yes? So it's okay then. How very individualistic and laissez faire of you... live and let die, eh? I bet that's not how you like to think of your own ideology though.
the government has still not made a case in why our current laws are not sufficient in battling terrorism, let alone curtailing our civil rights. You know, you can find these draconian "anti terror" laws in its original form... 1984!
Dear Anons (almost all of you),
It is suprising how almost all the people who dissent do so anonymously. I think you are all big scardy-cats. I also think it is ironic that you say 'we should have these laws because people shouldn't criticise' anonymously. What's the matter, scared you'll get in trouble?
I think there is a terrorist risk. I think everyone thinks there is a terrorist risk. I think the way he pushed through a technical ammendment (that the cops had been requesting for 18 months - about when they started surveilence) last week was a distraction technique (that was effective in distracting people away from IR changes). It isn't a retrospective change, it probably forced the cops to go in early, and probably meant some evidence was destroyed. I think that is particularly fucked, and shows his concern is self-serving.
The laws are consciously vague, so they can 'catch' whom they want. No one wants anyone to be the victim of a terrorist attack here, but too few people realise how dangerous these sedition changes are. Don't ask whether these changes will make it easier to detain people (as we don't even need a reason now), but ask whether the (very fucking) marginal increase it makes is relative to the risk.

MelbourneGirl, I just figured you like eggs.
MElbourne - I did get your eggs thing. It's from 'Cool hand Luke'.
Paul Newman. Grwat film. and very funny MG. I laughed.
A man can't eat fifty eggs.
I fucking hate this word verification thing.
Anyone know where I can get a poster of Rita Hayworth?
In her short-cropped, prison-bitch blonde phase? or-
*realises is Shawshank Redemption reference*
thankyou roguemaze.
about the terrorist attack that will probably happen. one of the anonymouses (at 11.54pm) said, and i quoth:
"Despite what you are determined to believe and preach, the government doesn't make new laws just for fun. Actually. The risk of terror is much greater now than it has been for quite some time."
you know what really sticks in my craw. the "Actually". but apart from that, the idea of the govt not making new laws for fun idea seems to completely disregard the fact that we are a bigger terrorist target most likely BECAUSE OF GOVERNMENT POLICY.
