Free Speech Under Attack

"I draw your attention to section c) which clearly targets not just peaceful civil disobedience but anyone who calls for civil disobedience. By definition the civil disobidence is involves the attempt to change a law through non-lawful means. So shortly when you put up a post on Indymedia calling for blockading in Gippsland, being part of a non-legally sanctioned picket, a sit in against uranium mining etc you could face 7 years jail."

The government claims it will "act in good faith"

Further more the act prohibits the calling of an peaceful disobedience (protests and includes UNION PROTESTS).
