    Associate Professor Jenny Hocking's new book is the first and only authoritative critique of the new Australian anti-terrorism laws. Under the Howard government Australia has gone further than any other western liberaldemocracy, including the US and UK in allowing for the arrest and detention of non-suspects in the fight against terrorism. Any ordinary Australian who has no connection with terrorism may now be arrested, in secret, and detained by ASIO for up to a week or more.

    "necessary reading"
