Make no mistake that the people in government treat their tax slave population as their primary enemy.
Every single new law being put into circulation is another action that either enslaves the herd population even more or removes their lawful rights.
As a result of the "Cabinet Files" government stuff up, information has made it into the public with regards to certain workings within government.
This information
should be in the public arena, especially the documentation that does not jeopardise "national security" (whatever that means) that has been marked AUSTEO (which means they are to be seen by "Australian eyes only".
A fundamental of criminal law is that one has the right to remain silent in order not to self incriminate, a law also the members of police are fully aware of and exercise this right also.
Ex prime minister Mr. John Howard nearly took this right away from the people of Australia.
Now is that an honourable action, by a person in a position of authority?
We know that if this law would have been passed it would have been done so unlawfully.
All part of the Penal Colony Policies in force for the Police State of Australia.

Right to remain silent nearly removed under Howard
John Howard's National Security Committee (NSC) gave serious
consideration to removing an individual's unfettered right to remain
silent when questioned by police.
The powerful committee's debate
on counter-terrorism laws came just after the arrest of Mohammed Haneef
and is documented in files marked "secret" and "AUSTEO", which stands
for Australian eyes only.
Dr Haneef was accused of providing
assistance in the 2007 Glasgow terror attack, but amid huge public
controversy, the allegations were later disproven and Dr Haneef was
awarded compensation by the Australian government.
The cabinet
documents reveal then-attorney-general Philip Ruddock pushed for a range
of new offences while Dr Haneef was still under investigation.
Critically, one of the proposals was to modify the right to remain silent during a terrorism investigation.
"I
would also like NSC to consider whether amendments should be made to a
suspect's right to remain silent to allow a court to draw adverse
inferences in a terrorism trial where an accused relies on evidence
which he or she failed to mention when questioned by police," Mr Ruddock
wrote in his NSC submission.
The proposal was supported by the
Australian Federal Police and ASIO, but rejected by the majority of the
senior ministers in the NSC.
Liberal MP Kevin Andrews is the only current politician who was a member of the NSC at that time.
Current
ASIO director-general Duncan Lewis was then an adviser in the prime
minister's National Security Division and along with a colleague, he
argued strongly against Mr Ruddock's proposal.
"Implementing a new
provision to allow adverse inferences to be drawn from a failure to
mention something when questioned is likely to involve more risks than
benefits and will engage lawyers much earlier on in any investigation,"
Mr Lewis wrote.
He also warned the raft of proposed changes would be controversial.
"Any strengthening of the counter-terrorism powers will attract significant media and public debate," Mr Lewis said.
A
spokeswoman for Mr Howard told the ABC he did not comment on
discussions in the NSC, but pointed out that no such change to the law
was made.
The ABC has also contacted Mr Ruddock and Mr Andrews for comment.
