The old "trust us .. it's got a sunset clause" BS, eh? 
C'mon, let's stop being so gullible. Once these laws passed they will NEVER be repealed. That's always the official gov't elites' line. You may recall federal income tax was only supposed to be a "temporary measure" as well.
Don't believe such nonsense, uhhh ... unless you really want to.
Australian Prime Minister Plays Terror Card
Same old, same old in Britain too
Paul Joseph Watson | November 3 2005
The Australian government is under intense pressure to water down proposed draconian laws that include provisions whereby peaceful anti-war protesters could be jailed for 7 years under the language that they support the opposition of the Australian military.

Australia Plans Law To Gag Parents In Child Terror Cases
11-1-5
SYDNEY (AFP) - Proposed legislation in Australia would make it a crime for one parent to tell the other that their child had been detained under anti-terror laws, a report says.
If a youth aged between 16 and 18 was detained, one parent would be informed and allowed to visit for two hours daily during the detention, which could last for two weeks without charge, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
But if the chosen parent was the father, for example, and he told the mother where the child was, he could be jailed for up to five years. 
The opposition Labor Party's spokesman for homeland security, Arch Bevis, scorned the proposal.
