Be careful of the Green propaganda linking the failed Aboriginal intervention which the global corporate maggot set up with their Trojan Asylum seeker detention agenda...the  global corporate maggot is waging a cold war against, - all Australian people to undermine our morale, debase us and smash down our borders and rob our country.  Peter Reith and the Green both work as agents for the GCM propaganda machine.

Amnesty


Who gives a flying fig what Amnesty says.

When they get real  and speak about human rights China, North Korea, Burma, Tibet, Zimbabwe etc then they may have some credence. Until then Amnesty best shut up.

Should ASIO be able to do security checks of all Australians and residents and any that fail ASIO's assessment be locked up for the rest of their lives without knowing their crime.

Should this be done to protect Australians?

Indigenous Peoples’ rights
The government continued to limit funding for
housing and municipal services such as water and
sanitation to Aboriginal peoples living on traditional
homelands in the Northern Territory. As a result,
people were effectively forced to abandon their
traditional homelands to access essential services.
An expert panel on the constitutional recognition
of Indigenous Australians was due to provide
recommendations to the Federal Parliament by December.
Justice system
Indigenous Peoples, while accounting for roughly 2.5
per cent of Australia’s population, comprised 26 per cent
of the adult prison population. Half of all juveniles in
detention were Aboriginal. A parliamentary committee
report on Aboriginal youth and justice published in
June showed a jump of 66 per cent in Aboriginal
imprisonment rates between 2000 and 2009.

In September and October, security firm employees
were fined for failing to prevent the death of Aboriginal
elder Mr Ward, who collapsed from heatstroke in a
prison van in 2008.

In July, the Australian and Malaysian governments
agreed to swap 800 asylum-seekers who arrived by boat
in Australia with 4,000 refugees (predominantly from
Myanmar) who were in Malaysia awaiting resettlement.

42 asylum-seekers (predominantly Afghans),
including six unaccompanied boys, challenged their
removal to Malaysia. In a landmark decision, the High
Court ruled in August that the swap was invalid under
Australia’s Migration Act. The Act prohibits Australia
from deporting asylum-seekers to countries that do not
have sufficient legal guarantees for refugee protection
(see Malaysia entry).
As of November 5,733 people were in immigration
detention, including 441 children. Thirty-eight per cent
of the 5,733 had been detained for over 12 months.
Increasing rates of suicide and self-harm, including by
children as young as nine, were reported in nearly all
detention centres. In July, the Commonwealth
Ombudsman launched an investigation; the findings
remained pending.
In September, the government introduced
Complementary Protection laws that strengthened
protection for people fleeing abuses – such as female
genital mutilation, honour killings and the death
penalty – which are not covered by the UN Refugee
Convention.
Violence against women and children
In February, the National Plan to Reduce Violence
against Women and their Children was endorsed by
federal, state and territory governments.
International scrutiny
In January, Australia’s human rights record was
assessed for the first time under the UN Universal
Periodic Review. Australia agreed to ratify the Optional
Protocol to the UN Convention against Torture and to
consider ratifying ILO No. 169 Indigenous and Tribal
Peoples Convention. However, it rejected: introducing
a Human Rights Act; ending mandatory detention of
asylum-seekers; allowing same-sex marriage; and
compensating Indigenous People who were forcibly
removed from their families when they were children.
Amnesty International visits/reports

Amnesty International’s Secretary General visited Australia in October.

The land holds us: Aboriginal Peoples’ right to traditional homelands in
the Northern Territory (ASA 12/002/2011)

ASIO knows well what its job is and the strategy of subversives in waging cold war to tear down the morale and security of the Australian people.  Its their job to keep tabs on those activities and to also help educate Australians on the strategies of organizations like the Global Corporate Maggot (GCM) to conquer them through these tactics and rob them of their rights, their country and their freedom.  Australia was been on the losing end of a cold war for decades and frankly people like Peter Reith and the Greens deserve to be in gaol for effectively waging war against the Australian people with sustained propaganda attacks.
