Australian Federal Police Detain Scott Parkin, US Peace Activist

I’ve met Scott, sat in on some of his workshops, had some good little chats possibly over a beer or two can honestly say he’s no threat to National Security – unless of course we’re all scared of democracy and free speech.

This is another fine example of an increasingly dysfunctional Australian government stealing from us the freedoms they claim to be fighting for.
