According to the BBC news website, the Australian Prime Minister John Howard said that Australia will not be apologising to Dr Haneef. He added:
Dr Haneef was not victimised
Australia's international reputation has not been harmed by this 'mis-start' to its new anti-terrorism laws.
In George Orwell's 1984, the three slogans of the Party were:
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
Well, Australia has supported a war on Iraq for peace. It has robbed Dr Haneef and other people of their freedom to protect freedom. And the people who vote for such a Government may quite possiby find their strength in ignorance.
There is however still some hope for the people of Australia. I understand that instead of letting Big Brother watch over everyone, Australians prefer to watch Big Brother instead. Mr Howard does not approve.
