From Peter Kerr at Mebourne Truth/Monaro:
It's time to stop fucking around. Time to untie the hands of our authorities. Time to stop pretending there are no terrorist cells in this country.
It's time to stop turning a blind eye to those in our community who condone these acts of terror. Time to 'out' the fanatics. Time we stopped allowing them to hide behind their ethnicity.
It's time for our media and politicians to stop presenting dangerous cranks as 'community leaders' and 'voices of moderate Islam'. Time to put the 'Sheik' on a plane back to Egypt.
It's time the Australian Labor Party decided whether a supposed 'Muslim vote' is more important than the security and will of 19 million odd other Australians. Time the Liberal Party of Australia made the same decision regarding the sensibilities of a few 'small l' liberals in the leafier suburbs.
No more double standards. No more pandering to the most backward voices in our society. It's time it was made very clear to every one what is and isn't acceptable in this country.
