You have to solve the problem – not just treat the symptoms.
I was referring to the “problem” as how Australia might be viewed by religious extremists. We were relatively off the radar outside our region until our support of the ‘Dash for Oil campaign’ – and all the campaigns thereafter.
The Government caused the perceived “problem” with its foreign and defence policies. Airport security is now on the agenda in an attempt to be seen responding to a perceived threat as a result of the government created problem.
Bloody madness. The added bonus for government is the ability to control the population using fear. Terrorism has never been so popular.
