Editorial: Reckless Sim Card Providers

He may not have known that the sim card would be used in a terrorist act, but Mohamed Haneef didn't bother to ask, and we here at The Daily Worry believe that this makes his actions reckless.

Philip Ruddock yesterday canvassed a list of proposed amendments to anti-terror legislation, declaring that the current laws, whilst being a vast improvement over our previous rights-based system of law, still needed some fine-tuning.

The Daily Worry applauds Mr Ruddock for having the courage to push forward with these desperately needed reforms, including the following new laws:

  • Recklessly serving coffee to a potential terrorist.
  • Recklessly providing street directions to a muslim.
  • Providing comfort to a suspected terrorist through sexual intercourse.
  • Providing a hair cut to a suspected terrorist.
  • Viewing or distributing material likely to promote Al Jazeera.
  • Recklessly failing to purchase a return ticket.
  • Parking in a disabled zone.
  • Recklessly providing an interview to Lateline.
  • Performing emergency surgery on a suspected terrorist.
  • Recklessly chatting up a lady in a hijab.
  • Recklessly leaking material to a media outlet in a manner likely to cause embarassment.
  • Recklessly providing an interview to a biographer.
  • Recklessly defending a suspected terrorist in a court of law.
  • Negligently failing to display a fridge magnet.
  • Reckless indifference to government propaganda.

A guy wearing a backpack asked me the way to the train station this morning.
Having been forewarned of these new laws I chained him to a pole where the cops could search him.
Another victory for democracy.
