G'day Seth, A pretty useful thread on the prospect of Australian soldiers shooting Australian demonstrators can be found on Labor MP Lindsay Tanner's mailing list at: http://conference.socialchange.net.au/openaustralia/discuss/ The debate begins with me as at 8/8/00 (and, it sadly appears, ends with my plaintive cry at 29 August - only about ten messages in all, too). I'll give Lindsay (who, sadly, represents the 'left' faction of the Labor Party) this: he did try to engage with his (all-too-few) critics. But Labor's set to pass the Bill without managing to remove the bit about not allowing soldiers to shoot people at industrial disputes, so we've lost a real whopper here, I'm afraid. What else can I say? Sigh. Rob. _______________________________________________ Crashlist resources: http://website.lineone.net/~resource_base To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.wwpublish.com/mailman/listinfo/crashlist
