Comment on Government rushes to patch up laws for stripping terrorists of citizenship
Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 7 months agoGoing off memory so someone please correct me but I think it was introduced by Howard and the excuse was national security, naturally. More specifically to keep secret any sensitive evidence that could compromise national security. I guess there is just no other solution to that other than to throw rule of law in the bin 🤷

Yeah - that definitely feels like a Howard post-911 destroy civil liberties kind of thing. I do think it’s something we were doing before that, but it ramped up to an industrial scale under Howard.
