1% of a threat

Recent efforts by a coalition of OMCGs, rallying against SA legislation that prohibits assembly by known associates and members, have been thwarted by a violent death at Sydney airport after which authorities ducked & weaved from responsibility, and immediately claimed the draconian legislation should be introduced in NSW as well.

In the media today the arrival of a group of gang members from Melbourne was blamed as the catalyst for the assault, although the last few days have seen a variety of scenarios proffered by a range of well manicured police sources.

Four men have been charged but doubt has been cast over the arrests, with prosecutors and police unable to even locate the CCTV footage of the melee from the airport check-in area.

Local police and the AFP are in the hot seat for a slow response and no response, respectively, and before the boys in blue got there, one man had suffered fatal injuries while bystanders checking in at the Qantas desk watched on.

It has been alleged that local police only attended the domestic airport after frightened travellers called 000, and that the AFP who are constantly in attendence at all Australian airports, including Sydney's, did not respond to the CCTV live-streaming the fight from the front area of the domestic airport.

The reactionary response by posturing pollies who have hopped on the fear of crime vilification bandwagon, rings of such big media/big brother spin classics as the weapons of mass deception, kiddies overboard, and the 'terror' threat that now apparently justifies the substantial erosion of Australian citizens' privacy and civil liberties by our own authorities.
