Today's Video Focus: Since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, over 70 new laws have been passed in
Australia in the name of national security ... and many of them
interfere with democratic rights and freedoms.
As Australia’s security state has expanded in response to the war on
terror, so too has Australia’s state of secrecy.
More government documents are being classified, more journalists are
being monitored, more whistleblowers are being charged.
It begs the question: where do we draw the line between national
security and the public’s right to know?
Focus of the Day article:
Nobody is under any illusion that the small claims track (SCT) portal is
in some disarray. The MIB (responsible for building the portal) has
held public information meetings, but these have simply focused
attention on the lack of joined-up thinking between stakeholders,
notably the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) and the Civil Procedure Rule
Committee.
