...elections, Rabin campaigned as the man who could bring the country peace with security. But to succeed, Rabin told Israelis, they would have to relinquish a central part of their identity -- their sense of fearful isolation. ''For many years, by necessity, by threat from wars, terror,'' he explains...
...drab, misguided instrumental jam, which brought down the crowd’s energy; the jam, though, was made less boring by the backdrop screen turned into a starry sky with swirling white lights. An out-of-key one-off vocal performance of “Hold Yr Terror Close” from drummer Taylor-Fukami was out of place in the high-energy set.

It's fair to assume politicians believe that they are acting in Australia's best interests, and that they need to act quickly. But the war against terror will be a marathon struggle, and it doesn't much matter if they were slow off the mark. The country's leaders need to reconsider these ill-conceived, hastily drawn laws. Whatever they think they are protecting, it is not the Australian way of life...
