According to media reports, Police Commissioner Karl O'Callaghan says they may also set up "walk-through detectors" at the Perth train station, with officers walking Northbridge wielding handheld detectors. The laws, described as "an erosion of civil rights",

10 Tahun Tragedi Semanggi Sudah tiga hari berlalu. Kami kembali pulang ke Salemba. Ratusan kardus berisi roti gopek-an (Rp 500), serta tumpukan air mineral dari merek Aqua, Vit, Ades, sampai merek yang tidak terkenal, tinggi tersusun. Bertumpuk mencapai langit ruangan. Wah-wah dari mana bantuan sebanyak ini datang, sejenak terpikir dibenak saya, pergerakan ini ternyata didukung banyak orang. Tapi kaku otot kaki dan rasa kesemutan di pundak sebelah kanan cepat-cepat merebut perhatian.

 "MS Kaban tadi hanya dikatakan selintas, banyak cabang-cabangnya ini dalam pemeriksaan Antasari. Jadi amat complicated dan sangat ruwet. Mungkin setelah gelar perkara lebih jelas," tandas Adnan Buyung Nasution, usai pertemuan antara Tim Delapan dan Kapolri, Rabu (4/11) kemarin.
Jujur, saya mengalami kebingungan yang sama seperti diucapkan oleh ketua Tim Delapan tersebut (sama bingungnya, tapi beda pinternya, hehehe…). Setelah melahap semua berita terkait kasus ini, mulai dari dijadikannya Anggoro sebagai tersangka, pembentukan Tim Lima oleh presiden, munculnya pernyataan

Melbourne Indymedia
The Melbourne Indymedia collective met in February after a long hiatus to discuss its future. We decided that we did not have the energy required to continue the project and that therefore the collective had come to an end.

Several Melbourne Indymedia members expressed interest in mentoring such a project. If this interests you please contact us
